To assess the clinical characteristics, diagnostic tests and treatment strategies in orthopedic implant-associated infections (OIAI) caused by Cutibacterium spp. We retrospectively included consecutive patients with OIAI caused by Cutibacterium spp. treated at our institution from January 2012 to January 2017. OIAI was diagnosed when: (i) macroscopic purulence, sinus tract or exposed implant was present; (ii) acute inflammation in peri-implant-tissue was documented; (iii) Cutibacterium spp. grew in joint aspirate, ≥2 intraoperative peri-implant tissue samples or in sonication fluid of the removed implant (>50 CFU/ml).Aim
