A case is presented of septic knee arthritis caused by Pseudomonas stutzeri, which is an aerobic gram-negative bacillus widely distributed in nature and rarely causes serious infections in humans. The patient is an 84-year-old woman on haemodialysis, who developed a septic arthritis of the right knee after a hyaluronic acid injection. There was a favourable outcome after antibiotic therapy. This aetiology should be taken into account when there is a history of local invasion of the joint and in states of immunosuppression, as occurred in this patient.
