is a coagulase-negative bacteria of the Staphylococcus family. It is a highly invasive organism with similar virulence to . It is commonly associated with bacteremia and infections of the skin, soft tissues, joints, and bones. Those with indwelling medical devices are at the highest risk of infection due to biofilm formation. Instances of native joint infections are exceedingly rare. We describe a case of a 72-year-old female with multiple comorbidities presenting with native right knee joint septic arthritis from . Due to treatment noncompliance secondary to latent social determinants of health, she faced a complicated and protracted clinical course that was treated with inpatient intravenous antibiotics and outpatient oral doxycycline. Few cases of native joint infections with have been documented, and to our knowledge, the impact of treatment noncompliance on the sequelae of septic arthritis with this organism has not been reported. Socioeconomic factors and comorbidities have been shown to increase a patient's risk for an extended joint infection with
是葡萄球菌属的一种凝固酶阴性细菌。它是一种具有高度侵袭性的微生物，毒力与[具体细菌名称未给出]相似。它通常与菌血症以及皮肤、软组织、关节和骨骼感染有关。因生物膜形成，植入医疗设备的人感染风险最高。原发性关节感染的病例极为罕见。我们描述了一例72岁患有多种合并症的女性，因[具体细菌名称未给出]出现右膝原发性化脓性关节炎。由于潜在的健康社会决定因素导致治疗依从性差，她面临复杂且漫长的临床病程，接受了住院静脉用抗生素和门诊口服多西环素治疗。记录在案的原发性关节感染病例很少，据我们所知，治疗依从性差对这种微生物引起的化脓性关节炎后遗症的影响尚未见报道。社会经济因素和合并症已被证明会增加患者发生[具体细菌名称未给出]所致关节感染延长的风险
