SEMINAR series, Staphylococcus aureus was the primary cause of bacterial arthritis in 40% of cases from England and Wales, 7 56% of cases from France, 6 and 37% of cases from tropical Australia2 (panel 1). S aureus cause 80% of joint infections in patients with concurrent rheumatoid arthritis and in those with diabetes. This microbe is also the primary pathogen in hip infections and in polyarticular septic arthritis. S aureus elaborate several extracellular and cell-mediated factors that may be important virulence determinants in septic arthritis. 8, 9 Lancefield group A-haemolytic streptococci are the next most common bacteria isolated from septic joints in adults (panel 1). Group B, C, and G streptococci are important causes of bacterial arthritis in compromised hosts or in patients with serious genitourinary or gastrointestinal infections. Gram-negative bacilli are common causes of bacterial arthritis in intravenous drug users, in the elderly, and in seriously immunocompromised hosts. Gram-negative bacilli and Haemophilus influenzae are the most common pathogens in the newborn and in all children under age 5 years. However, H influenzae bacterial arthritis is not limited to neonates. Although pneumococcal arthritis has been uncommon in most series during the past 25 years, 10% of bacterial arthritis from England and Wales over a 4 year period from 1990 to 1993 were caused by
