Valarie Lyngdoh, Tashi KhonglahNon-tuberculous rapidly growing mycobacteria have been known to cause a variety of skin and soft tissue infection. The diagnosis of NTM in bone and joint infections is easily missed because of non-specific signs and symptoms. We report a case of a 65 year old male with osteomyelitis of the right knee of 4 years duration. The patient had no prior … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractHistopathology of Microbially Induced Corrosion and Cluster Failure of Moderately Rough Surface Oral Implants in a Resident Bone MicrobiotaStephen Nelson, Helen Hu et al.This case report presents as a maxillary "cluster-failure", where six moderately rough-surface oral implants (1-2 microns) were installed to support a full-arch hybrid bridge. Understanding cluster failures requires the acknowledgment of biofilm science that recognizes the persistence of bacterial infection in bone following extraction and the need to bioremediate the bone-bed, by surgical debridement, before implant installation. The patient, a … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2024 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
