From November 2011 until now, seven patients have been operated on in the Children’s University Hospital of Geneva for a musculoskeletal indication and have sustained an Enterobacter cloacaecomplex infection. The patients presented with few clinical and laboratory manifestations. Four patients were treated with antibiotics only, whereastwo patients required debridement and vacuum assisted closure therapy associated with antibiotic therapy. One patient had his device removed.
