Infections with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus correspond to a small percentage of the total pyogenic spondylodiscitis and are associated with immunocompromised conditions. We present a case of a 58 year old male with a L1-L2 spondylodiscitis by a very atypical microorganism, the S. hominis. Only after two surgeries and specific antibiotic therapy it was possible to eliminate the disease.
