  • Title: Abiotrophia defectiva infection of a total hip arthroplasty diagnosed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
    Author: Rozemeijer W, Jiya TU, Rijnsburger M, Heddema E, Savelkoul P, Ang W.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2011 May; 70(1):142-4. PubMed ID: 21392927.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of a total hip arthroplasty infection caused by Abiotrophia defectiva, identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Removal of the prosthesis followed by antibiotic treatment resulted in a good clinical outcome. 16S rRNA gene sequencing can be a useful tool in diagnosing infection with this fastidious microorganism that can easily be misidentified using phenotypic identification methods.
