    Aim: Our study aims to contribute to the literature by examining the cell counts, Gram staining results, isolated microorganisms and antibiotic resistance patterns of joint fluid samples sent to our laboratory.Material and Methods: Synovial fluid samples of 299 patient evaluated with suspicion of septic arthritis between January 2018 and June 2023 were retrospectively examined. The demographic characteristics of the patients, the cell count of the samples showing growth in the joint fluid culture, the detection of the agent in the Gram stain, and the antibiogram results of the isolated microorganisms were analyzed. Microorganisms were identified using conventional methods and an automated system (VITEK 2 Compact- BioMerieux-France).Results: 53.2% of the patients were female and the average age was 60.36. The agent was isolated in the synovial fluid culture of 11.4% of the patients. The average leukocyte value of culture positive samples was 82854/mm³ and was found to be significantly higher (p
