Here, we describe the case of a 77-year-old male patient who was admitted to the teaching hospital of Rennes (France) with bilateral and nocturnal gonalgia evolving for 1\u2009month. He had bilateral knee prosthesis 10\u2009years ago, and a history of large B-cell lymphoma in remission. A diagnosis of infective endocarditis, with prosthetic knee infection, was made, with positive cultures of synovial fluids and blood; colonies of \n \n E. rhusiopathiae<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Initial treatment involved debridement, implant retention surgery and intravenous amoxicillin (12\u2009g day\u20131<\/jats:sup>) for 6\u2009weeks with gentamicin 3\u2009mg kg\u20131<\/jats:sup> day\u20131<\/jats:sup> added for the first 4\u2009days. One year later, a second episode of \n \n E. rhusiopathiae<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> infection occurred, suggesting a recurrence or reinfection due to the same bacterial species. The patient was finally cured after a two-stage exchange with a cemented articulated spacer and a 3\u2009month course of amoxicillin (12\u2009g day\u20131<\/jats:sup>, iv<\/jats:sc>). Different characteristics of \n \n E. rhusiopathiae<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> infection were discussed, with a review of all cases of prosthetic joint infections caused by \n \n Erysipelothrix<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> species. This case highlights the need for a long-term survey of patients, and a good knowledge of their environment to avoid any risk of reinfection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.001580","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]],"date-time":"2022-09-12T16:17:00Z","timestamp":1662999420000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A
