We describe the first case of prosthetic joint associated infection due to Granulicatella adiacens (formerly Abiotrophia adiacens). Diagnosis was made by broad spectrum PCR, and later by culture. Diagnosis and treatment of this microorganism is difficult. Two y after revision and antibiotic treatment, infection was under control but not cured.
我们描述了首例由毗邻颗粒链菌（以前称为毗邻营养缺陷菌）引起的人工关节相关感染病例。诊断通过广谱聚合酶链反应（PCR）做出，随后通过培养确诊。该微生物的诊断和治疗具有挑战性。翻修手术和抗生素治疗两年后，感染得到控制但未治愈。
