AbstractWe present a case of Abiotrophia defectiva in a prosthetic knee infection following total knee replacement for the first time. A 69-year-old female was prediagnosed with prosthetic knee infection, and a two-stage revision arthroplasty was applied. A. defectiva was cultured by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) from the synovial fluid aspirates. Penicillin G and gentamicin had been administered. One year postoperatively, a scintigraphy showed no recurrence. A. defectiva may be missed in culture negative patients with knee or hip arthroplasty. They should be carefully evaluated if they have undergone recent dental procedures.

Abstract Purpose Due to an increased human life expectancy, the need to replace arthritic or dysfunctional joints by prosthetics is higher than ever before. Prosthetic joints are unfortunately inherently susceptible to bacterial infection accompanied by biofilm formation. Accurate and rapid diagnosis is vital to increase therapeutic success. Yet, established diagnostic modalities cannot directly detect bacterial biofilms on prostheses. Therefore, the present study was aimed at investigating whether arthroscopic optical imaging can accurately detect bacterial biofilms on prosthetic joints. Methods Here, we applied a conjugate of the antibiotic vancomycin and the near-infrared fluorophore IRDye800CW, in short vanco-800CW, in combination with arthroscopic optical imaging to target and visualize biofilms on infected prostheses. Results We show in a human post-mortem prosthetic knee infection model that a staphylococcal biofilm is accurately detected in real time and distinguished from sterile sections in high resolution. In addition, we demonstrate that biofilms associated with the clinically most relevant bacterial species can be detected using vanco-800CW. Conclusion The presented image-guided arthroscopic approach provides direct visual diagnostic information and facilitates immediate appropriate treatment selection.

Prosthetic Knee Infection

Veillonellasp. andV. disparare emerging pathogens. This is the third case of a monomicrobialVeillonellasp. prosthetic joint infection (PJI) among knees and hips; this is the second prosthetic knee infection described. The infection was treated with a 2-stage procedural approach combined with 6 weeks of ceftriaxone with excellent clinical response. There was no relapse in 2 years of follow-up care. This case exemplifies the importance of incubating anaerobic cultures for at least 7 days to grow some anaerobic pathogens.
