The anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium Propionibacterium avidum is a common inhabitant of the skin with low pathogenicity. We report a case of P. avidum sacroilitis, psoas abscess and osteomyelitis in a 67-year-old male who had recently undergone surgical repair of an inguinal hernia. The organism was recovered from blood cultures, a bone biopsy specimen and specimens from the abscess. The spectrum of bone and joint infections caused by Propionibacterium is discussed. Infection by Propionibacterium spp. should be considered in patients with bone and joint infections.
厌氧革兰氏阳性菌嗜丙酸丙酸杆菌是皮肤的常见寄居菌，致病性较低。我们报告一例67岁男性患者发生嗜丙酸丙酸杆菌性骶髂关节炎、腰大肌脓肿和骨髓炎，该患者近期接受了腹股沟疝手术修复。该菌从血培养、骨活检标本和脓肿标本中分离出来。本文讨论了丙酸杆菌引起的骨与关节感染谱。对于骨与关节感染患者，应考虑丙酸杆菌属感染。
