Corynebacterium prosthetic joint infection.

Project description:Identification of Corynebacterium species may be challenging. Corynebacterium species are occasional causes of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), but few data are available on the subject. Based on the literature, C. amycolatum, C. aurimucosum, C. jeikeium, and C. striatum are the most common Corynebacterium species that cause PJI. We designed a rapid PCR assay to detect the most common human Corynebacterium species, with a specific focus on PJI. A polyphosphate kinase gene identified using whole-genome sequence was targeted. The assay differentiates the antibiotic-resistant species C. jeikeium and C. urealyticum from other species in a single assay. The assay was applied to a collection of human Corynebacterium isolates from multiple clinical sources, and clinically relevant species were detected. The assay was then tested on Corynebacterium isolates specifically associated with PJI; all were detected. We also describe the first case of C. simulans PJI.

First report of treatment of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens bloodstream infection with levofloxacin.

Project description:The full extent of the clinical spectrum and optimal therapy of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens infections remains to be determined. We describe the first case of bloodstream infection (BSI) due to A. succiniciproducens in an asymptomatic elderly male with poor dentition that was treated with levofloxacin.

PCR-based diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection.

Project description:We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate use of PCR assays for diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77 to 0.92) and 0.91 (CI, 0.81 to 0.96), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed that use of tissue samples may improve sensitivity, and quantitative PCR and sonication of prostheses fluid may improve specificity. The results showed that PCR is reliable and accurate for detection of PJI.

Prosthetic joint infection caused by Helcococcus kunzii.

Project description:Helcococcus kunzii was isolated by sonication and conventional cultures obtained from a case of infection following total knee prosthesis in an immunocompetent patient. The patient recovered uneventfully. This is the first known case of an H. kunzii prosthetic joint infection.

A case of Q fever prosthetic joint infection and description of an assay for detection of Coxiella burnetii.

Project description:We present the first published case of Coxiella burnetii prosthetic joint infection. Diagnosis was established with PCR and culture of periprosthetic tissue and synovial fluid (and serology). A novel PCR assay is described herein. Q fever should be considered in patients with prosthetic joint infection without an identified pathogen.

In situ Staphylococcus aureus gene expression in a human prosthetic joint infection

Project description:Little is known about regulation of gene activity of the major pathogen Staphylococcus aureus during actual human infection. Here we characterize the transcriptome using deep RNA sequencing and the metabolome using NMR of S. aureus infected joint fluid derived from an acute human prosthetic joint infection, and compare them with the genome, transcriptome and metabolome of an isolate obtained from the sample grown in vitro (LB medium). The transcriptome indicated that the bacterial infection sustained on a versatile human-cell-based diet consisting of amino acids, glycans and nucleosides, since significant upregulation of genes involved in the catabolic degradation pathways of these compounds were observed in situ. This is consistent with metabolite analysis of the infected joint fluid and of S. aureus culture supernatants where the concentration of most amino acids and some amino sugars were found to be higher in the joint fluid, whereas the concentration of glucose was higher in culture supernatant. Furthermore, presumably because of oxygen limitations in the joint fluid, transcriptomic evidence for fermentation was observed, consistent with the presence of fermentation products (ethanol) in situ. Moreover, many, but not all, of the known virulence factor genes were upregulated in situ as well as the nine genes encoding the iron uptaking siderophore synthesis system.

Rapid molecular microbiologic diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection.

Project description:We previously showed that culture of samples obtained by prosthesis vortexing and sonication was more sensitive than tissue culture for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) diagnosis. Despite improved sensitivity, culture-negative cases remained; furthermore, culture has a long turnaround time. We designed a genus-/group-specific rapid PCR assay panel targeting PJI bacteria and applied it to samples obtained by vortexing and sonicating explanted hip and knee prostheses, and we compared the results to those with sonicate fluid and periprosthetic tissue culture obtained at revision or resection arthroplasty. We studied 434 subjects with knee (n = 272) or hip (n = 162) prostheses; using a standardized definition, 144 had PJI. Sensitivities of tissue culture, of sonicate fluid culture, and of PCR were 70.1, 72.9, and 77.1%, respectively. Specificities were 97.9, 98.3, and 97.9%, respectively. Sonicate fluid PCR was more sensitive than tissue culture (P = 0.04). PCR of prosthesis sonication samples is more sensitive than tissue culture for the microbiologic diagnosis of prosthetic hip and knee infection and provides same-day PJI diagnosis with definition of microbiology. The high assay specificity suggests that typical PJI bacteria may not cause aseptic implant failure.

Prosthetic joint infection due to "Helcococcus pyogenes" [corrected].

Project description:Helcococci have previously been associated with the colonization of ulcers and infections of the skin and soft tissues. We describe a case of prosthetic joint infection due to a previously undescribed organism that is genetically most closely related to Helcococcus.

Ureaplasma parvum prosthetic joint infection detected by PCR.

Project description:We describe the first reported case of Ureaplasma parvum prosthetic joint infection (PJI) detected by PCR. Ureaplasma species do not possess a cell wall and are usually associated with colonization and infection of mucosal surfaces (not prosthetic material). U. parvum is a relatively new species name for certain serovars of Ureaplasma urealyticum, and PCR is useful for species determination. Our patient presented with late infection of his right total knee arthroplasty. Intraoperative fluid and tissue cultures and pre- and postoperative synovial fluid cultures were all negative. To discern the pathogen, we employed PCR coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS). Our patient's failure to respond to empirical antimicrobial treatment and our previous experience with PCR/ESI-MS in culture-negative cases of infection prompted us to use this approach over other diagnostic modalities. PCR/ESI-MS detected U. parvum in all samples. U. parvum-specific PCR testing was performed on all synovial fluid samples to confirm the U. parvum detection.

First report of a hip prosthetic and joint infection caused by Lactococcus garvieae in a woman fishmonger.

Project description:We describe the first case of hip prosthetic infection due to Lactococcus garvieae. The patient, a 71-year-old woman fishmonger, developed a hip infection 7 years after total hip arthroplasty. The origin of infection was possibly due to the manipulation or intake of seafood or fish contaminated with Lactococcus garvieae.
