Journal ArticleDOI

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

Reassessment of Clostridium difficile Susceptibility to Metronidazole and Vancomycin

TL;DR: Rates of resistance to metronidazole and vancomycin were higher among isolates from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, and molecular typing methods proved the absence of clonality among the isolates with decreased susceptibilities to the antimicrobials tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Universal 16S rRNA Gene PCR and Sequencing in Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection

TL;DR: 16SPCR is more specific and has a better positive predictive value than culture for diagnosis of PJI, even when few samples are analyzed; however, culture is generally more sensitive.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute haematogenous prosthetic joint infection: prospective evaluation of medical and surgical management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report their experience of the management of acute haematogenous prosthetic joint infection (AHPJI) in patients during a 3-year prospective study in nine Spanish hospitals.
