Radiographic imaging showed right femoral head destruction. The patient had no known hip trauma. His white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were abnormal. Pre-operative aspirate of the hip showed purulent fluid. The examining radiologist believed the changes seen were due to inflammatory arthritis with infection from low-virulence organisms. The patient underwent image-guided biopsies of the synovium and the acetabulum, which showed pure cultures of\n                <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">S. capitis<\/jats:italic>\n                and infiltrating neutrophils. The patient\u2019s native hip was removed, and an antibiotic spacer was placed. The patient was treated with intravenous cefazolin (6 weeks), after which he was transitioned to oral cefadroxil. The patient is doing well. The\n                <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">S. capitis<\/jats:italic>\n                was analyzed by nucleotide sequencing and biochemically for secreted virulence factors. The strain contained the polysaccharide intercellular adhesin biofilm operon. The strain was negative for urease, hemolysins, and major superantigens.
