Abstract
S. aureus is still the most common organism in septic arthritis. The BACTEC system was found to improve the yield of clinically significant isolates. Though a significant resistance to common antibiotic regimen is noticed, the strain is susceptible to cephalosporin group of antibiotics. We recommend the use of cephalosporine antibiotics as an empirical therapy till culture and sensitivity report are available.
