Burkholderia cepacia is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus that is found naturally in soil and water and usually causes respiratory infections in patients with cystic pulmonary fibrosis. Few cases of urinary tract infections with B. cepacia have been described in the literature, all of them clinical case presentations or case series. Therefore, we have compiled the data from the literature on this topic in a review to gain a better understanding of the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment methods of this disease. B. cepacia can lead to multidrug-resistant urinary tract infections in hospitals when surfaces and medical equipment are contaminated. The diagnosis is made after the onset of postoperative febrile syndrome or prolonged hospitalization in the intensive care unit. The evolution can be unfavorable, with the occurrence of sepsis and increased mortality.

Background: Burkholderia cepacia has been described as a rare etiology for spondylodiscitis (SD) after surgical procedures. Case Description: We report a rare case of cervical SD caused by B. cepacia in a 39-year-old immunocompetent woman after a rhinoplasty treated with complex cervical surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy. The follow-up visits showed no recurrence of symptoms. Conclusion: Diagnostic and therapeutic of rare spinal infections, particularly those caused by atypical pathogens such as B. cepacia, are challenging. Identification and personalized therapy are crucial.
