Detection of Pantoea agglomerans in hip prosthetic infection by sonication of the removed prosthesis: the first reported case.
Pantoea agglomerans is a rare isolate in orthopaedic patients. We describe the first case of an acute hip prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Pantoea agglomerans. The microorganism was detected after sonication of the removed hip endoprosthesis.
