the most common cause of osteomyelitis in patients with sickle cell disease.
I thought it is salmonella, but I have just read that it is S aureus.
Can anyone confirm?

Yes, I can confirm.
Salmonella paratyphi is the MCC of osteomyelitis in sickle cell.
Staphylococcus aureus is the MCC overall (but not in sickle cell)
