Mycobacterium goodii Infection of a Total Knee Prosthesis
Mycobacterium goodii infection is uncommon and probably occurs via disruption of skin and bone integrity or the introduction of a foreign body into viscera, namely implantation of a prosthetic device. We describe a case of nosocomial, total knee arthroplasty–associated M goodii infection that required combined antibiotic and surgical therapy for clinical management. An infection control investi...
متن کاملHernia repair mesh-associated Mycobacterium goodii infection.
We report on a patient with an abdominal wall abscess that developed after an inguinal hernia repair that utilized synthetic mesh. Mycobacterium goodii, a recently recognized, rapidly growing mycobacterium related to M. smegmatis, was isolated both from the abdominal wall aspirate and from surgically drained material. Infection resolved following thorough debridement, mesh removal, and prolonge...
متن کاملMycobacterium goodii: An Emerging Nosocomial Pathogen
Abstract: Mycobacterium goodii, a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, is an emerging pathogen in nosocomial infections. Its inherent resistance patterns make it a challenging organism to treat, and delays in identification can lead to poor outcomes. We present a case of cardiac device pocket infection with M. goodii, complicated by both antibiotic resistance and drug reactions that hi...
متن کاملHip prosthesis infection due to Mycobacterium wolinskyi.
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 microorga...
متن کاملPathogenesis of prosthesis-related infection.
In spite of its incidence decreasing to 1% nowadays, prosthesis-related infection remains a research, diagnostic, therapeutic and cost-related problem. It can be defined as a presence of bacteria in the artificial joint space, which is significantly associated with evident laboratory and/or tissue markers, and clinical signs of running infection. We believe that the more precise understanding o...
