Over recent years, the incidence of infection caused by antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (a conditional pathogenic bacterium) has showed an increasing trend in such hospital departments as ICUs. [] Key Result We cured such a patient of intractable knee infection caused by A. baumannii resistant to all conventional antibiotics including imipenem by taking comprehensive measures including surgery, and infection did not recur during the 14-month follow-up.

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection following para-articular steroid injection in the knee--a case report.
TLDR
A case of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii paraarticular infection of the knee occurring in a healthy patient following one ambulatory steroid injection for the treatment of quadriceps tendinopathy is reported, the first case in the literature reported following single steroid injection in orthopaedic patients.
Septic Oligoarthritis Caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii
TLDR
A case of an adult male with oligoarthritis septic arthritis due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase K. pneumoniae and imipenem-resistent A. baumannii is described.
A case of unusual Gram-negative bacilli septic arthritis in an immunocompetent patient.
TLDR
A case of multiple concurrent opportunistic Gram-negative bacilli causing septic arthritis in a healthy patient following trauma to the knee is reported, highlighting the importance of an awareness of the external environment at the time of injury, and consequently, the choice of empiric antibiotics required for successful treatment.
Septic oligoarthritis of the knee caused by Acinetobacter baumannii in a paraplegia patient: a rare case report
TLDR
Inflammation of the both knees are almost disappeared by magnetic resonance imaging examination, and Septic arthritis is inflammation of a joint caused by a bacterial infection.
Surgical Procedures Needed to Eradicate Infection in Knee Septic Arthritis.
TLDR
With arthroscopic irrigation and debridement, most patients with septic knee arthritis require only 1 surgical procedure to eradicate infection, but the need for multiple procedures increases with time from onset of symptoms to surgery.
Concomitant Septic Arthritis and Tophaceous Gout of the Knee Managed with Intermittent Closed Joint Irrigation Combined with Negative Pressure Therapy: A Case Study and Literature Review
TLDR
It is hypothesized that biofilm may play a role increasing the difficulty of sterilising a tophaceous joint and the use of topical negative pressure therapy that targets biofilm with the instillation option in the management of severe septic arthritis with concomitant gout is proposed.
Concomitant septic arthritis and tophaceous gout of the knee managed with intermittent closed joint irrigation combined with negative pressure therapy: a case study and literature review.
TLDR
It is hypothesized that biofilm may play a role increasing the difficulty of sterilising a tophaceous joint and the use of topical negative pressure therapy that targets biofilm with the instillation option in the management of severe septic arthritis with concomitant gout is proposed.

TLDR
Acinetobacter baumannii infection, such as bacteremia or pneumonia in patients in the intensive care unit who are undergoing intubation, do not seem to be associated with a higher attributable mortality rate or an increased length of hospital stay.

TLDR
More intensive efforts are urgently required to elucidate the epidemiological and infection control issues related to these organisms and to improve the management of patients with such infections.

TLDR
This study analysed the risk-factors associated with acquisition of this epidemic strain of Acinetobacter baumannii and investigated the prognosis of patients infected by AbMR, with the aim of elucidating factors which lead to mortality.

TLDR
This is, to the authors' knowledge, the first case of bacteremia coexisting with multiple areas of tophaceous gout of the spine and, although uncommon, gouty spine should be added into the differential diagnosis of patients with back pain and b acteremia.

TLDR
A "look-back" analysis revealed that the multidrug resistant A. baumannii recovered from the HCW and from a patient in her care were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and polymerase chain reaction/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry indicated that the isolates were similar to strains of A. BaumannII derived from European clone type II.
Nosocomial spread of OXA-58-positive carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in a paediatric hospital in Greece.
TLDR
This study emphasises the importance of the bla(OXA-58) carbapenemase gene in conferring carbAPenem resistance among A. baumannii isolates in Greece.
Septic arthritis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
TLDR
The diagnosis and management of septic arthritis in immunocompromised patients like patients with rheumatoid arthritis is discussed in this review article.
Management of septic arthritis: a systematic review
TLDR
No investigation is more reliable in the diagnosis of septic arthritis than the opinion of an experienced doctor, and key unanswered questions remain surrounding the medical and surgical management of the infected joint.
