Cerrahinin yapısı, süresi, dokuya verilen hasar ve hastadaki mevcut eş zamanlı problemlerin varlığı postoperatif infeksiyon riskini arttırmaktadır. Lomber 5- sakral 1 spondilolistezis nedeniyle posterior instrumentasyon ve posterior füzyon uygulanan bir hastada, postoperatif gelişen enfeksiyon uzun süren antibiyoterapi uygulanması ve rutin kültürlerde üreme elde edilememesine rağmen; hipertonik besiyeri kullanılarak, Enterokok L-formu izole edilmiş ve bir vaka olarak sunulmuştur.
