Abstract
Granulicatella adiacens, previously known as nutritionally variant streptococci, are rarely isolated since they are difficult to produce by standard laboratory techniques and are rarely detected as the cause of infection. The aim of this study was to present a case of septic arthritis caused by G. adiacens after shoulder surgery.
Özet
Önceleri nütrisyonel varyant streptokok olarak adlandırılan Granulicatella adiacens cinsi bakteriler, standart laboratuvar teknikleri ile üretilmeleri zor olduğundan nadiren izole edilir ve nadir olarak infeksiyon etkeni olarak saptanır. Bu çalışmada, G. adiacens’e bağlı omuz cerrahisi sonrası gelişen septik artrit olgusu sunulmaktadır
