Filter by:Cephamycin related to 2nd generation cephalosporins, the use of cefoxitin has long been limited to antibiotic prophylaxis. Because of its spectrum (sensitive staphylococci, enterobacteria including ESBL, streptococci, anaerobes), its stability and its low cost, it could be useful in curative bone and joint infections, especially in case of infection polymicrobial disease in patients for whom antibiotic alternative per os is limited.
The aim of this study is to adescription of mandibular osteomylitis in patients having had a treatment by DENOSUMAB. Indeed, one of the adverse effect ot this molecule is to induce mandibular infection.
The aim of this study is to determine if delta-haemolysin production deficiency of Staphylococcus aureus is a marker in favour of chronic infections on implants
The malignant external otitis is a rare disease which arises more frequently at the elderly and the diabetics patients. To our knowledge, there are few data and it is not wellc known byclinicians. Nevertheless it exposes to neurological complications potentially serious and crippling.
S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most frequent bacteria responsible for PJI (prosthetic joint infection). The aim of this study is to describe the use of rifampicin.
This study concerns patients having had an infection on their prosthesis (hip, knee,..) and for whom a 2-step exchange of prosthesis has been done. A 2-step exchange consists in explantation of the prosthesis and implementation of a spacer at the first stage, and reimplantation of a new prosthesis in a second stage. Patients with late prosthetic joint infection are at risk for superinfection at the time of reimplantation. The aim is to determine the microbiological epidemiology in patients experiencing failure following reimplantation to establish, based on the drug susceptibilities, which cement could be the most active.
The aim of this study is to describe the bone or joint infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients having implant.
Optimal surgical therapy (debridement in chronic osteomyelitis; device exchange in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infection [PJI]) could be sometimes non-feasible, especially in the elderly population. Therefore, a medical therapy with oral prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy (PSAT) seems to be an option to prevent recurrence and prosthesis loosening. Unfortunately, some patients are infected with resistant pathogens for which oral antibiotics are not suitable. Subcutaneous (SC) administration of injectable intravenous antibiotics as PSAT could be a convenient way to limit catheter-related complications and facilitate ambulatory care. However, there are few data concerning the development of resistance under subcutaneous prolonged treatment with betalactamine. The aim of this study is is just to constitute a biological collection from samples from the GUT microbiote in patients having a bone or joint infection treated by a suppressive subcutaneous antibiotherapy with betalactamine. Later analysis will be led on those samples to detect the acquisition of resistance or not.
Bone and joint infection (BJI) are bacterial infections that can occur after surgery (nosocomial infections) or de novo. They constitute a public health problem in Western Countries . These infections are often difficult to treat, with a high rate of re-hospitalizations (19.5%) caused by relapses or recurrences. The treatment of Bone and joint infection can be surgical and / or pharmacological . Drug treatment is based on the use of parenteral and / or oral antibiotics. It is a curative therapy in most cases, with a prolonged duration ranging from 6 weeks to several months depending on the lesions . Medication adherence, is a patients' behavior defined as drug intake with optimal attendance and regularity, as prescribed and explained by the physician. It is a key factor in the success of any drug therapy, as drugs don't work in patients who don't take them.. To the knowledge of investigators, there are no published data on the adherence to antibiotic therapy in patients treated for Bone and joint infection. In addition to its prolonged duration, the antibiotic treatment of the Osteoarticular Infections may require several daily drug intakes and may be responsible for severe adverse effects, these three factors being known to adversely affect adherence. Prevalence, adherence patterns over time and determinants of adherence in this patient population are not known. Currently, drug adherence is not routinely evaluated and is not considered in the treatment of Bone and joint infection in the Regional Center for Complex Bone and joint infection of the investigators. A specific study evaluating adherence to antibiotic therapy in patients treated for Bone and joint infection appears to be justified.
The choice of antimicrobial therapy to treat complex bone and joint infections (BJI) is challenging, requiring consideration of: (i) the problem of bone diffusion; (ii) the necessity of using antimicrobials active against bacterial biofilms; (iii) the growing incidence of antibiotic resistance; and (iv) the high risk of severe adverse events (SAE) in response to first-line antimicrobials in these patients. Consequently, off-label use of recently developed antimicrobials, such as daptomycin, is frequently required as salvage therapy in complex BJI. Even if daptomycin does not have approval for the treatment of BJI, the Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines propose this antibiotic as alternative therapy for prosthetic joint infection. The recommended dose is 6 mg/kg/d, whereas recent data support the use of higher doses in these patients as bone penetration of daptomycin is limited. The present cohort study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of prolonged high-dose (>6 mg/kg/d) daptomycin salvage therapy in patients with complex BJI.
