Micromonas micros is an oral anaerobic Gram-positive coccus and is a commensal of the mouth, and it is rarely isolated in prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and even less frequently related to a preceding dental procedure with eventual hematogenous seeding of the prosthetic joint. Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old male with a prosthetic hip joint who developed Micromonas micros prosthetic hip joint infection with symptoms starting a few days after a dental procedure and not having received periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis. He recovered well with surgical intervention and antimicrobial therapy. We conducted a literature review of prosthetic hip joint infections caused by Micromonas micros as well as briefly discuss current guidelines on antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with prosthetic joints undergoing dental procedures and some knowledge gaps.

Comorbidity Index

Resection arthroplasty can be performed as the first stage of a two-stage procedure in some patients with severe periprosthetic hip joint infections with poor bone stock. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate factors associated with the subsequent failure or success of these patients. Between 2011 and 2020; in 61 (26.4%) of 231 patients who underwent a two-stage protocol of periprosthetic hip joint infections; no spacer was used in the first stage. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months. Patient’s demographics and various infection risk factors were analyzed. In total, 37/61 (60.7%) patients underwent a successful reimplantation, and four patients died within the follow-up period. Patients within the failure group had a significantly higher Charlson comorbidity index (p = 0.002); number of operations prior to resection arthroplasty (p = 0.022) and were older (p = 0.018). Failure was also associated with the presence of a positive culture in the first- and second-stage procedures (p = 0.012). Additional risk factors were persistent high postoperative CRP values and the requirement of a negative-pressure wound therapy (p ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, multiple factors need to be evaluated when trying to predict the outcome of patients undergoing resection arthroplasty as the first stage of a two-stage procedure in patients with challenging periprosthetic hip joint infections.
