The first reported case of Staphylococcus pettenkoferi prosthetic joint infection
Microbes and Infection(2022)
摘要
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are among the most frequent causes of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, a coagulase-negative Staphylococcal species first described in 2002, has been detected in fewer than 20 patients with true infection (15 cases of bacteremia and 1 case of osteomyelitis). This organism has never been implicated in a PJI, likely owing in part to the difficulty in identification via biochemical methods. S. pettenkoferi is almost universally reported to be a contaminant when detected. We report the first case of a PJI caused by S. pettenkoferi, highlighting its infectious potential in specific patient populations.
