Abstract

Sneathia sanguinegens, Sneathia vaginalis, and Mageeibacillus indolicus have been recently described in the female genital tract. We present the first case of a postpartum septic arthritis of the pubic symphysis due to these organisms, identified by next generation sequencing.

Keywords: Mageeibacillus indolicus; Septic arthritis of pubic symphysis; Sneathia sanguinegens; Sneathia vaginalis.
