Description
BackgroundStaphylococcus argenteus, a member of the Staphylococcus aureus complex, has increasingly been recognized as a human pathogen but is frequently misidentified as S. aureus in routine clinical laboratories. Reports of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by this species remain rare.MethodsWe describe a case of delayed-onset PJI in a 71-year-old woman following total knee arthroplasty.
