Abstract
Microbiological identification is essential for the management of bone and joint infections. However, the detection of the pathogen is sometimes difficult. In case of a negative sample and/or depending on the context, the presence of so-called atypical bacteria is to be mentioned and looked for. This article reports the main characteristics of osteoarticular infections caused by atypical mycobacteria, Brucella sp., Pasteurella sp., Bartonella henselae and Kingella kingae. Tuberculosis infections and Whipple's disease will be discussed in other articles in the journal.
