Abstract:
Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an aerobic gram negative organism that has been infrequently implicated in clinical infections in a variety of anatomical sites. We describe a case of a prosthetic knee infection due to Achromobacter xylosoxidans in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving high dose prednisone.
