Filter by:Gut dysbiosis is an intestinal disorder that is characterized by accumulation of microbiota imbalance, host-microbiota crosstalk dysfunction and inflammation. As part of its clinical development, MaaT (Microbiota as a Therapy) Pharma is particularly interested in patients with Bone and Joint Infections (BJI). These patients are treated with antibiotics having significant consequences on their intestinal flora, causing intestinal discomfort, which can be manifested by diarrhea. MaaT Pharma wishes to carry out a clinical study, OSIRIS, in collaboration with Prof. Tristan Ferry, member and coordinator of CRIOAc (Centre de Référence des Infections Ostéo-Articulaires Complexes) Lyon, Center of Reference of Bone and Joint Infections (BJI). The objective of this study is to follow patients with treated BJI in order to characterize intestinal dysbiosis and the future relevance of an autologous Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (aFMT) intervention. To do this, patients will be monitored according to the current CRIOAc recommendations, with the aim of taking biological samples from patients at the same time as scheduled visits, routine monitoring patients. Only one additional consultation will be carried out 15 days after stopping the antibiotics in order to better evaluate the dysbiosis evolution. Thus biological samples (blood, stool, nasal, rectal) will be taken during the follow-up consultations over a period of 6 months.
The problem of interest is that doctors are looking for new antibiotic treatments for bone and joint infections. Treatment for bone and joint infection is not standardized, which allows a wide range of antibiotic therapy to potentially be given. A type of bacteria called S. aureus is the most common cause of bone and joint infection. Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is not killed by some antibiotics, and it is increasingly common in U.S. and non-U.S. medical centers. This problem will be studied by investigating whether an antibiotic called tedizolid is tolerable, safe and effective to treat bone and joint infections.
