Abstract
Abstract. We report on a patient with septic arthritis of the knee with Pantoea agglomerans after a penetrating black locust thorn injury. Antibiotics alone or in combination with an arthroscopy may be insufficient for achieving
source control. Accurate medical history and open debridement with a search
for a thorn fragment are key to successful treatment.
