* Hip and knee
** Early (<3 months): [[Staphylococcus aureus]] (38%), aerobic [[Gram-negative bacilli]] (24%), [[coagulase-negative staphylococci]] (22%), [[Enterococcus species]] (10%), and [[Streptococcus species]] (4%), [[anaerobes]] including [[Cutibacterium acnes]] (3%), culture-negative (10%); 31% are polymicrobial
** Overall: [[Staphylococcus aureus]] (27%), [[coagulase-negative staphylococci]] (27%), aerobic [[Gram-negative bacilli]] (9%), [[Streptococcus species]] (8%), [[anaerobes]] including [[Cutibacterium acnes]] (4%), [[Enterococcus species]] (3%), culture-negative (14%); 15% are polymicrobial
* Shoulder: [[coagulase-negative staphylococci]] (42%), [[Cutibacterium acnes]] (24%), [[Staphylococcus aureus]] (18%), aerobic [[Gram-negative bacilli]] (10%), others, culture-negative (15%); polymicrobial in 16%
* Elbow: [[Staphylococcus aureus]] (42%), [[coagulase-negative staphylococci]] (41%), others, culture-negative (5%); polymicrobial in 3%

=== Epidemiology ===

* Complicates about 2% of [[arthroplasty]]

=== Pathophysiology ===

* Bacteria grown on the prosthesis in a biofilm, making it resistant to medical management
