We report the first case of Kytococcus schroeteri implant-related septic arthritis and osteomyelitis, identified by phenotypic tests and 16S rRNA sequencing, which responded to implant removal and doxycycline. 16S rRNA sequencing was useful for the accurate and rapid identification of the organism as it exhibited three different colonial morphologies in vitro.
我们报告了首例由表型试验和 16S rRNA 测序鉴定的施氏色球菌植入物相关脓毒性关节炎和骨髓炎,该病例对植入物移除和强力霉素治疗有反应。16S rRNA 测序对于准确快速鉴定该生物体非常有用,因为它在体外表现出三种不同的菌落形态。
