This case report presents an unusual occurrence of Winkia (Actinomyces) neuii vertebral osteomyelitis in a 55-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus. W. neuii is a distinct species formerly placed within the Actinomyces genus, exhibiting unique morphological and clinical characteristics. Vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Actinomyces species is rare, with only one prior case reported in the literature. The patient was successfully managed with a combination of intravenous ceftriaxone during hospitalization and an oral antibiotic regimen for an extended period. This case report contributes to the limited body of knowledge surrounding W. neuii, as well as actinomycotic vertebral osteomyelitis
