Hip prosthesis infection due to Mycobacterium wolinskyi.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium wolinskyi, first described in 1999, is a rapidly growing mycobacterium related to the Mycobacterium smegmatis group. Only eight cases of infection due to this microorganism have been reported, including three cases of bone infection. Here, we present the first case of a joint prosthesis infection cured with the combination of surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy. The microorganism was identified by biochemical tests and 16S rRNA and Hsp65 gene sequence analysis.

Actinomyces gerencseriae hip prosthesis infection: a case report.

Project description:Actinomyces bacteria are part of the human oropharyngeal microbiota. They have been associated with abdominal, cervicofacial and thoracic infections and a few cases of joint infections have also been described. In particular, Actinomyces gerencseriae, formerly described as Actinomyces israelii serovar II, has rarely been associated with human infections, mostly involving cervicofacial lesions and periodontal diseases. Here, we report one case of hip prosthesis infection due to A. gerencseriae.A 72-year-old Caucasian male developed an inflammatory collection on the outside of the right thigh where a hip prosthesis had been implanted for 11 years. Culturing a fluid sample from the collection puncture found Staphylococcus hominis and a Gram-positive bacillus unidentified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). Sequencing the 16S rRNA gene amplified from both the specimen and the isolate identified A. gerencseriae. Treatment adjusted with amoxicillin and trimethropim-sulfamethoxazole cured the infection.The recently described A. gerencseriae has rarely been involved in human infections. We report the first case of A. gerencseriae joint infection in a hip prosthesis.

Molecular identification of a Dietzia maris hip prosthesis infection isolate.

Project description:Dietzia maris, an environmental actinomycete, has been implicated only once in human disease. We herein report the first D. maris isolate from a bone biopsy specimen in a patient hospitalized for a total hip prosthesis replacement. Cell wall fatty acid analysis and 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequencing were utilized to achieve its definite identification. This case report illustrates the usefulness of such methods for the accurate identification of actinomycetes.

Granulomatous Rhinitis in a Horse due to Mycobacterium intracellulare Infection.

Project description:Mycobacterial infections in horses are uncommon, but are caused most frequently by Mycobacterium bovis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex or Mycobacterium avium of the M. avium complex. Disease caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare, the second most common species within the M. avium complex, has not been reported in horses to date. Mycobacteriosis in horses most often presents as enteric, pulmonary or, rarely, systemic disease. Here we report a case of M. intracellulare infection in a horse presenting as a granulomatous nasal mass.

Mycobacterium bovis infection of total hip arthroplasty after intravesicular Bacillus Calmette-Guerin.

Project description:Intravesicular application of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), a live attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, is effective in the treatment of bladder cancer. However, systemic dissemination and subsequent infection of implants have been reported. We present a case of M. bovis infection of a total hip arthroplasty 5 years after BCG instillation for bladder cancer. He was treated with debridement, antibiotics, irrigation, and prosthesis retention with appropriate antituberculous therapy. At 4 years after surgery and 3 years after cessation of treatment, he has had no recurrence of infection with a good functional outcome. This case highlights the need to consider Mycobacteria infection in patients who have received intravesicular BCG. Debridement and retention of well-fixed implants can be successful in combination with appropriate antituberculous therapy.

Disassembly of the inner head of a bipolar hip prosthesis.

Project description:We report an extremely rare case of inner head displacement from the stem of a bipolar hip prosthesis (BHP). An 88-year-old woman underwent BHP implantation for right femoral neck fracture. However, severe right hip joint pain occurred 12 days after surgery. A plain radiogram film revealed displacement of the inner head from the neck of the stem, accompanied by sinking of the stem. At reoperation, the inner head was disassembled from the stem, and Vancouver type A1 fracture was confirmed. Disassembly may have been caused by the pumping phenomenon or micromovement of the stem due to periprosthetic fracture. To our knowledge, this is the first report about disassembly of the BHP inner head, probably due to periprosthetic fracture.

Cause Analysis of an Infection in Facelift Surgery Due to Mycobacterium chelonae.

Project description:We report a post-facelift infection due to Mycobacterium chelonae. An environmental strain recovered from the water supply network of the surgical clinic and the clinical strains were considered non-differentiable using whole genome sequencing. After the unhealed wound's exposure to M. chelonae while showering early at the clinic after surgery, a lasting exposure of the colonized wound to the warm and moist working conditions of a bakery may have been favorable to the infection's development.

A case report of wrist synovial infection due to Mycobacterium jacuzzii, Iran.

Project description:BackgroundMycobacterium jacuzzii (M. jacuzzii) was first isolated in 2003 by insertion of breast implants in Tel Aviv, Israel. In this case report, we describe our experience in detection of M. jacuzzii using phenotypic and genotypic test of wrist synovial sample.Case presentationA 73-year-old woman complained of pain and swelling in the right wrist for 4 months. Her body temperature was 37-38 °C, and symptoms, such as pain, swelling, and some movement limitation, were reported. Clinical laboratory parameters showed an elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and white blood cells (WBC) count. The sequences of hsp65, rpoB, 16S rDNA, and sodA genes indicated very high homology to M. jacuzzii.ConclusionWe report a case of synovial infection caused by M. jacuzzii in a patient with severe wrist pain in Iran, who was treated with amikacin, levofloxacin, and ethambutol. The outcomes of treatment after 8 months were positive, and no recurrence of infection was reported in the patient.
