Ultrastructural studies of adherence of Staphylococcus aureus in experimental acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

A model of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis initiated by injection of Staphylococcus aureus into 29-day-old chickens was used. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the bacteria adhered to exposed cartilage matrix in the metaphyseal region of long bones but not to adjacent vascular linings or to erythrocytes. It is proposed that the combination of exposure of growth plate cartilage during normal bone growth and the ability of S. aureus to adhere to this cartilage is the mechanism for initiation of infection which proceeds to an osteomyelitic abscess.
