摘要：
We describe the first case of prosthetic joint associated infection due to Granulicatella adiacens (formerly Abiotrophia adiacens). Diagnosis was made by broad spectrum PCR, and later by culture. Diagnosis and treatment of this microorganism is difficult. Two y after revision and antibiotic treatment, infection was under control but not cured.
