==Pathophysiology==
Bacteria are carried by the bloodstream from an infectious focus elsewhere, introduced by a [[skin]] [[lesion]] that penetrates the joint, or by extension from adjacent tissue (e.g. bone or bursae).
Microorganisms must reach the [[synovial membrane]] of a joint.  This can happen in any of the following ways:
* Dissemination of [[pathogen]]s via the blood, from [[abscess]]es or wound infections
* Dissemination from an [[osteomyelitis|acute osteomyelitic focus]]
* Dissemination from adjacent [[soft tissue]] infection
* Entry via [[penetrating trauma]]
* Entry via [[iatrogenic]] means

Pathophysiology

Bacteria are carried by the bloodstream from an infectious focus elsewhere, introduced by a skin lesion that penetrates the joint, or by extension from adjacent tissue (e.g. bone or bursae).

Microorganisms must reach the synovial membrane of a joint. This can happen in any of the following ways:
