We report the first case of Corynebacterium bovis shoulder prosthetic joint infection. The organism was isolated from intraoperative tissue culture and from the removed prosthesis using sonication. A 2-stage exchange and 3 months of antibiotic therapy were performed. C. bovis may cause implant-associated infections, which can manifest as low-grade infection.
我们报告了首例牛棒状杆菌所致的肩部人工关节感染病例。该病原体是通过术中组织培养以及使用超声处理从移除的假体中分离出来的。我们进行了两阶段的置换手术并给予了3个月的抗生素治疗。牛棒状杆菌可能会引起与植入物相关的感染,这种感染可能表现为低度感染。
