Mycobacterium goodii infection is uncommon and probably occurs via disruption of skin and bone integrity or the introduction of a foreign body into viscera, namely implantation of a prosthetic device. We describe a case of nosocomial, total knee arthroplasty-associated M goodii infection that required combined antibiotic and surgical therapy for clinical management. An infection control investigation revealed that the source of the organism might have been the water in the operating room scrub faucets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
