Presentation
We present the first case report of a Lactobacillus infection of a TKA that was treated successfully with a two-stage revision TKA. Case report and literature review. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient made a complete recovery and was seen for four months in follow-up after his initial presentation. 1. [hindawi.com]
This could be due to the presence of Lactobacillus fermentum, which is the only bacterial species present in the Nature’s Bounty product that is not present in any of the other products tested in this study (Appendix A). [omicsonline.org]
Results: Among 197 individuals evaluated, Hpylori was detected in 43%, Lactobacillus spp in 24%, while 8% presented both bacteria simultaneously. [scielo.conicyt.cl]

Two specific procedures for the collection of uncontaminated bladder urine are: urethral catheterization and supra-pubic aspiration. References "Probiotics for Prevention of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Women;" Matthew E. [healthyliving.azcentral.com]
