Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Anaerobic Bacteria in High Numbers in Sputum from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Michael M. Tunney,Tyler R. Field,Thomas Fintan Moriarty,Sheila Patrick,Gerd Doering,Marianne S. Muhlebach,Matthew C. Wolfgang,Richard C. Boucher,Deirdre Gilpin,Andrew McDowell,J. Stuart Elborn +10 more
TL;DR: A range of anaerobic species are present in large numbers in the lungs of patients with CF, and informed alterations to antibiotic treatment to target anaerobes, in addition to the primary infecting pathogens, may improve management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture-related infection: A consensus on definition from an international expert group
Willem-Jan Metsemakers,Mario Morgenstern,Martin A. McNally,Thomas Fintan Moriarty,I. McFadyen,Matthew Scarborough,Nicholas A. Athanasou,Peter E. Ochsner,Richard Kuehl,Michael J. Raschke,Olivier Borens,Zhao Xie,Steven Velkes,Sven Hungerer,Stephen L. Kates,Charalampos G. Zalavras,Peter V. Giannoudis,Robert Geoff Richards,Michiel H J Verhofstad +18 more
TL;DR: The intention of establishing this definition of FRI was to offer clinicians the opportunity to standardize clinical reports and improve the quality of published literature, and should be validated by prospective data collection in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection after fracture fixation: Current surgical and microbiological concepts.
Willem-Jan Metsemakers,Richard Kuehl,Thomas Fintan Moriarty,Robert Geoff Richards,Michiel H J Verhofstad,Olivier Borens,Stephen L. Kates,Mario Morgenstern +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes the clinical approaches towards the diagnosis and treatment of IAFF with an emphasis on the unique aspects of fracture care that distinguish IAFF from prosthetic joint infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of culture and molecular analysis to determine the effect of antibiotic treatment on microbial community diversity and abundance during exacerbation in patients with cystic fibrosis
Michael M. Tunney,Erich Klem,Anthony A. Fodor,Deirdre Gilpin,Thomas Fintan Moriarty,Stephanie McGrath,Marianne S. Muhlebach,Richard C. Boucher,Christopher Cardwell,Gerd Doering,Joseph Elborn,Matthew C. Wolfgang +11 more
TL;DR: Antibiotic treatment targeted against aerobes had a minimal effect on abundance of anaerobes and community composition, with both culture and molecular detection methods required for comprehensive characterisation of the microbial community in the CF lung.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial delivery systems for local infection prophylaxis in orthopedic- and trauma surgery
Gert-Jan A. ter Boo,Dirk W. Grijpma,Thomas Fintan Moriarty,Robert Geoff Richards,David Eglin +4 more
TL;DR: Several antibiotic loaded biomaterials for local infection prophylaxis are available for use in the clinic and their advantages and limitations are reviewed and an overview of new materials emerging that may overcome these limitations are provided.
