摘要
Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens is a rare anaerobic pathogen that is implicated in sporadic cases of bacteremia and diarrhea, usually in immunocompromised patients. We describe a case of prosthetic joint infection in a 71 year old male who presented with right hip pain. Anaerobic cultures from tissue specimen grew a spiral-shaped gram-negative rod, identified as A. succiniciproducens by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The patient was treated successfully with IV cefoxitin for 6 weeks. To our knowledge this is only the third reported case of prosthetic joint infection due to A. succiniciproducens.
