Abstract
<p class="p p-first-last" id="__p2">We describe two cases of chronic <em>Gardnerella vaginalis</em> prosthetic hip infections, in an immunocompetent postmenopausal woman and a young immunocompromised woman. <em>G. vaginalis</em> was also isolated from the genital tract, suggesting hematogenous spread of the bacterium. Outcomes were favorable after one-stage exchange arthroplasty and prolonged antibiotic therapy.</p>
