Abstract

Granulicatella adiacens is an uncommon cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Here, we report a case of Granulicatella adiacens prosthetic knee joint infection in a patient who was previously managed for Granulicatella bacteremia 10 months earlier. The infection was managed with a planned two-stage surgical revision and prolonged IV antibiotics. This case underscores the rare pathogenic potential of a typically benign commensal organism, highlighting the importance of considering atypical pathogens in common clinical presentations.

假体膝关节继发于棘粒霉感染1例。
棘粒霉是一种罕见的假体关节感染(PJI)原因。在这里,我们报告一例假膝关节感染的病例,该患者在10个月前曾接受过肉芽杆菌血症的治疗。感染通过计划的两阶段手术翻修和延长静脉注射抗生素进行管理。本病例强调了典型良性共生生物的罕见致病潜力,强调了在常见临床表现中考虑非典型病原体的重要性。
