Abstrakt: We report a case of prosthetic arthritis caused by Cardiobacterium valvarum, which has been exclusively reported to cause intravascular infections. A 81-year-old Japanese female complained prosthetic knee joint pain. Arthrocentesis cultured no pathogen, and surgical replacement of the implant surface was performed. Modified Levinthal medium culture and 16S rRNA sequencing has finally led to diagnosis of C. valvarum prosthetic knee arthritis without cardiac lesions. Fastidious bacteria such as C. valvarum can be candidate pathogens of orthopedic infections whose causative agents are sometimes unidentified. Further development of molecular diagnostics is expected, but also the importance of conventional methods should be noted.
