Resumo
Yokenella regensburgei belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is an opportunistic
agent rarely associated with infections in humans. We report a case of osteoarticular knee
infection caused by Y. regensburgei in a patient under treatment for rheumatoid arthritis,
using corticosteroids, with complication in primary total arthroplasty of the knee. Y.
regensburgei was identified using the VITEK2 system. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
was performed using the disk-diffusion method, according to the guidelines from the Clinical
and Laboratory Standards Institute. The patient presented favorable clinical evolution after
the second debridement, with complete removal of the prosthesis and antibiotic therapy with
sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. This is the first case of Y. regensburgei infection described in
Brazil
