Metronidazole resistant Bacteroides fragilis infection of a prosthetic hip joint
J Infect.
1990 Mar.
Abstract
A case of infection involving a prosthetic joint in a patient with adult Still's Disease is described. The causative organism was a strain of Bacteroides fragilis which was resistant to metronidazole. The rarity of this occurrence is emphasised. Diagnostic difficulties which arose are described and the problems encountered with therapy discussed.
