We describe three cases of orthopaedic contamination caused by Ralstonia pickettii grown from prosthetic joint and implant material cultures following sonication in the microbiology laboratory. Given the temporal association between the cases, lack of clinical or intra-operative features of infection, growth of the organism in the water bath, and unlikely etiology of Ralstonia as a prosthetic joint or implant pathogen, the bacteria were judged to be contaminants.
我们描述了3例由皮氏罗尔斯顿菌引起的骨科污染病例,这些细菌是在微生物实验室对假体关节和植入材料进行超声处理后的培养物中生长出来的。鉴于这些病例之间的时间关联、缺乏感染的临床或术中特征、该菌在水浴中的生长情况以及皮氏罗尔斯顿菌作为假体关节或植入物病原体的病因不太可能,这些细菌被判定为污染物。
