Joint infections of bone are unusual manifestations of listerial infection. Fourteen cases of septic arthritis due to Listeria monocytogenes have been previously described in adults. We report the 15th case of septic arthritis due to Listeria in which bilateral prosthetic hips in a renal transplant patient were involved. In addition, we review the literature on listerial joint infections.
