Abstract. We describe the case of an HIV-infected man who developed twice a Helicobacter cinaedi prosthetic joint infection. In our knowledge, it is the first case to date. Furthermore, it illustrates the fact that this bacterium is difficult to isolate and that recurrences can occur even after apparently successful treatment.

Microbiological Cure

Prosthetic joint infection due toMycobacterium abscessusis uncommon and optimal therapy remains poorly defined. Following a two-stage revision, clinical and microbiological cure was achieved in a patient with aM abscessus-infected total hip arthroplasty. A prolonged course of directed antibacterial therapy comprising clarithromycin and cefoxitin coupled with the application of amikacin-impregnated cement likely contributed to the successful outcome.

Prosthetic Joint

Antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Enterobacteriaceae, has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and a serious public health concern. Gram-negative bacteria carrying extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) enzymes now represent a significant proportion of all bacteria isolated from different countries worldwide. Furthermore, the increasing number of isolates carrying carbapenemases in recent years includes multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR) bacteria. Here, we describe what, to our knowledge, is the first case of a patient with a prosthetic joint infection from carbapenemase-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) successfully treated with ceftazidime-avibactam in Italy.

Device Infection

We report what is to the best of our knowledge the first case of persistent human listeriosis. A housewife underwent excision of a leiomyosarcoma and implantation of a prosthetic knee device. Infection of the device with Listeria monocytogenes occurred and persisted for 2 years. Despite having an allergy to ampicillin, the patient was cured solely by antibiotics and without surgery.

Abstract Background Nocardia are Gram-positive filamentous bacteria that cause Nocardiosis, a rare opportunistic infection. The most common site of infection is the lungs, with metastatic spread usually to the central nervous system. Prosthetic joint infection due to Nocardia is very rare. Methods We report the first case of prosthetic joint infection due to Nocardia veteran-elegans, and review the literature regarding Nocardia septic arthritis, with particular attention to prosthetic joint infection. Results The patient was a 35 year old male with history of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for which he received chemotherapy previously, poorly controlled diabetes, motor vehicle accident in 2003 with right open tibial plateau fracture requiring hardware placement, who was admitted with a two week history of right knee pain and swelling. Knee aspiration revealed purulent fluid and synovial culture grew Nocardia species. He underwent right knee arthrotomy and debridement with removal of hardware. The Nocardia species was speciated as N. veterana-elegans, sensitive to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, linezolid, clarithromycin, imipenem and amikacin. He was placed on oral linezolid for four weeks, which was then switched to oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, with a plan for a six month course of therapy. He has completed two months of therapy thus far and is doing well clinically. Nocardia is an uncommon cause of septic arthritis. We found only 37 cases reported in the English literature thus far. Amongst these, only six involved prosthetic joints, including our case, which is the first one to be caused by N. veterana-elegans.Three cases were caused by N. nova and one each by N. farcinica and asteroides. Septic arthritis due to Nocardia has a favorable outcome with a combination of surgical debridement and prolonged antimicrobial therapy of three to six months. For prosthetic joint infections, removal of hardware seems to carry a better prognosis. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is the preferred antimicrobial, including for bone and joint infection, although susceptibilities can vary amongst the different species. Conclusion Nocardia is an uncommon cause of septic arthritis. Prosthetic joint infection is very rare. Prognosis is fair with a combination of hardware removal and prolonged antibiotic therapy.
