Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens is a rare anaerobic pathogen that is implicated in sporadic cases of bacteremia and diarrhea, usually in immunocompromised patients. We describe a case of prosthetic joint infection in a 71 year old male who presented with right hip pain. Anaerobic cultures from tissue specimen grew a spiral-shaped gram-negative rod, identified as A. succiniciproducens by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The patient was treated successfully with IV cefoxitin for 6 weeks. To our knowledge this is only the third reported case of prosthetic joint infection due to A. succiniciproducens.
产琥珀酸厌氧螺旋菌是一种罕见的厌氧病原体，与散发性菌血症和腹泻有关，通常发生在免疫功能低下的患者中。我们描述了一例 71 岁男性的人工关节感染病例，该患者表现为右髋部疼痛。组织标本的厌氧培养物中生长出一种螺旋形革兰氏阴性杆菌，通过 16S rRNA 基因测序鉴定为产琥珀酸厌氧螺旋菌。该患者成功接受 IV 头孢西丁治疗 6 周。据我们所知，这是第三例因产琥珀酸厌氧螺旋菌引起的人工关节感染病例。
