Abstract EN
Veillonella sp.
and V.
dispar are emerging pathogens.
This is the third case of a monomicrobial Veillonella sp.
prosthetic joint infection (PJI) among knees and hips; this is the second prosthetic knee infection described.
The infection was treated with a 2-stage procedural approach combined with 6 weeks of ceftriaxone with excellent clinical response.
There was no relapse in 2 years of follow-up care.
This case exemplifies the importance of incubating anaerobic cultures for at least 7 days to grow some anaerobic pathogens.
