Abstract
Persistent low back pain developed in a 51-year-old woman after she had und ergone abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Four months postoperatively, necrotizing m yofascitis developed in her gluteal muscles. The infected mesh, which had e roded into the vagina, was removed. Cultures of the Infected mesh and absce sses grew common vaginal flora, including Gardnerella vaginalis and Actinom yces.
