Summary

Pasteurella multocida is a rare cause of joint sepsis in total joint replacements. This case highlights local wound seeding from an old injury, not a distant animal bite, as a potential cause.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Infectious disease

Background:

  • Joint sepsis in total joint arthroplasty is uncommon.
  • Pasteurella multocida is a rare pathogen in these infections, typically linked to animal bites.

Observation:

  • A case of Pasteurella multocida joint sepsis following total knee arthroplasty is presented.
  • The patient had a history of a severe soft tissue injury from a horse-related incident, but no recent animal bite was identified.

Findings:

  • The infection was likely due to local wound seeding from the old traumatic injury, rather than hematogenous spread from a distant source.
  • Pasteurella multocida demonstrated high virulence in contaminating the prosthetic joint.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of Pasteurella multocida joint sepsis etiology in total joint arthroplasty.
