It is first time I am reading about an asociation between Pseudomonas and osteomyelitis. I checked my copy of Kaplan Microbiology / Immunology lecture notes ed. 2005 and do not fnd this mentioned any where.
Any way to answer your question, it is S. aureus, unless they ask about the cause of osteomyelitis in Sickle cell disease (not trait) patient, in which case it is Salmonella.
in the last chapter of the flow chart, u will find the assoication of osteomyelitis and drug user
