A schematic presenting examples of the various pathogens associated with orthopedic PJIs and their estimated incidence.34,36,37 Mono- and polymicrobial infections are associated with PJI, with up to 15% of all cases being comprised of multiple bacterial species (spp.). Staphylococcus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are involved in 50%–60% of PJIs
