Although Shewanella putrefaciens is widespread in nature and can readily be isolated from environmental specimens, it is a rare human pathogen. It may cause skin and soft tissue infections in the immunocompetent host and bacteremia and septicemia in the immunocompromised. In this paper, an 18-year-old male case of chronic osteomyelitis presenting with foot ulceration, in whom wound cultures yielded Shewanella putrefaciens is presented.
