A Large Multicenter Study of Methicillin–Susceptible and Methicillin–Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Prosthetic Joint Infections Managed With Implant Retention

TL;DR: The use of rifampin may have contributed to homogenizing MSSA and MRSA prognoses, although the specific rifampsin combinations may have had different efficacies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis and endocarditis: Incidence, risk factors, and outcome

TL;DR: Favorable outcome with shorter treatment in uncomplicated pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis associated with infectious endocarditis suggests that prolonged therapy may not be needed in this subgroup except for those infected by difficult to treat microorganisms, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or Candida spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time trends in the aetiology of prosthetic joint infections: a multicentre cohort study

N. Benito, +85 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the frequency of antimicrobial-resistant organisms in PJIs has increased in the recent years and the observed trends have important implications for the management of PJIs and prophylaxis in joint replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early prosthetic joint infection: outcomes with debridement and implant retention followed by antibiotic therapy.

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of patients with an early PJI may be successfully treated with DAIR and definite antimicrobial therapy and in more than half of these, the infection can be cured.
