Sample QuestionA patient who had received an artificial hip 5 months previously presented with persistent pain in the new joint that he had noticed for the last week or so. A CT scan showed inflammation around the prosthetic, and a series of CT-guided aspirations of penprosthetic tissue grew isolates which, when plated, produced entire, smooth, greyish, gamma- hemolytic colonies, The isolate was resistant to multiple antibiotics, and treatment with vancomycin was begun. After 10 days of treatment, inflammation had decreased but sonication (ultrasonic shaking) of an explanted fragment of the joint itself released large numbers of viable organisms. Eventually, after several months of unsuccessful antimicrobial therapy, the prosthetic was removed. What characteristics are associated with the most likely causative agent?
