Prosthetic joint infection
From IDWiki
Background
Microbiology
- 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
