APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Hematogenous prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are primarily associated with Staphylococcus aureus, and there is a 30%–40% risk of contracting a hematogenous PJI following an S. aureus bacteremia. The aim of this study was to investigate whether identical strains of S. aureus were present in each patient from a cohort with both bacteremia and
