Journal ArticleDOI
Sonication of Removed Hip and Knee Prostheses for Diagnosis of Infection
Andrej Trampuz,Kerryl E. Piper,Melissa J. Jacobson,Arlen D. Hanssen,Krishnan K. Unni,Douglas R. Osmon,Jayawant N. Mandrekar,Franklin R. Cockerill,James M. Steckelberg,James F. Greenleaf,Robin Patel +10 more
TL;DR: Culturing of samples obtained by sonication of prostheses was more sensitive than conventional periprosthetic-tissue culture for the microbiologic diagnosis of prosthetic hip and knee infection, especially in patients who had received antimicrobial therapy within 14 days before surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiologic Diagnosis of Prosthetic Shoulder Infection by Use of Implant Sonication
Kerryl E. Piper,Melissa J. Jacobson,Robert H. Cofield,John W. Sperling,Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo,Douglas R. Osmon,Andrew McDowell,Sheila Patrick,James M. Steckelberg,Jayawant N. Mandrekar,Marta Fernandez Sampedro,Robin Patel +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that sonicate fluid culture is useful for the diagnosis of prosthetic shoulder infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sonication of Explanted Prosthetic Components in Bags for Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection Is Associated with Risk of Contamination
Andrej Trampuz,Kerryl E. Piper,Arlen D. Hanssen,Douglas R. Osmon,Franklin R. Cockerill,James M. Steckelberg,Robin Patel +6 more
TL;DR: Explanted orthopedic implants from 54 patients with aseptic failure and 24 patients with prosthetic knee or hip infection were sonicated in polyethylene bags, improving bacterial recovery from the surface of orthopedics implants; however, it lacked specificity, due to bag leakage.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-Reactive Protein, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and Orthopedic Implant Infection

TL;DR: CRP and ESR have poor sensitivity for the diagnosis of shoulder implant infection, as measured by Receiver operating curve analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro activity of linezolid against vancomycin-resistant enterococci, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
TL;DR: The activity of LY333328 is a promising new glycopeptide antimicrobial agent against clinical isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci and high-level penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae.
