Backgrounds of antibiotic-loaded bone cement and prosthesis-related infection

Biomaterials, 2004
Antibiotic-loaded bone cement has been in use for over 30 years for the fixation of total joint arthroplasties, although its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. This review presents the backgrounds of bone cements, prosthesis-related infection and antibiotic-loaded bone cements.

Acute and chronic adult osteomyelitis and prosthesis-related infections

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 1999
Both acute and chronic osteomyelitis are causes of rising concern, mainly because of the increasing number of traumatic accidents, the appearance of new groups of patients at risk, the widespread use of prosthetic devices and the emergence of new patterns of antimicrobial resistance.

Bone tissue and plasma concentrations of linezolid and vancomycin in rabbits with prosthesis-related infection due to MRSA

Die Pharmazie, 2009
Background: Due to its safety profile and ease of oral administration, linezolid became an alternative to vancomycin in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. The aim of our study was to compare bone tissue and plasma concentrations of linezolid and vancomycin in prosthesis-related MRSA infection in a rabbit ...

A comparative study of antibodies against proteins extracted from staphylococcal biofilm for the diagnosis of orthopedic prosthesis–related infections in an animal model and in humans

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2013
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the microorganisms most frequently seen in periprosthetic infections (PPI) with the capacity of forming biofilm. To find potential antigens for the diagnosis of PPI, the immunogenicity of protein components in biofilm from a model biofilm-positive strain (S. epidermidis RP62A) was investigated. A

[Prosthesis-related infections].

Revue medicale de Bruxelles, 2000
Long-term prosthetic devices are rapidly recovered by host proteins which increase bacterial adhesion. The bacteria can also produce extracellular polysaccharide material, which in combination of host proteins, produce a biofilm. This one decreases the host defense mechanisms, antibiotics penetration and efficacy, increasing infectivity of the ...

Prosthesis-related infection. Etiology, prophylaxis and diagnosis (a review).

Acta orthopaedica Belgica, 1990
The recent literature concerning prosthesis-related infection is reviewed with respect to etiology, prophylaxis and diagnosis. Most prosthesis-related infections are initiated during operation by contamination with bacteria-carrying particles from the air as a result of dispersion of skin scales from individuals in the operating room. A small number of

[Systemic antimicrobial treatment of prosthesis related infections: a comparative study of ornidazole and minocycline. A microbiological evaluation and experimental protocol].

Minerva stomatologica, 2001
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two chemotherapeutic agents against bacterial forms responsible for prosthesis-related infections.The evaluation was made on the basis of a count using optical microscope 1000x after GRAM staining of the main bacterial forms found in periprosthetic inflammatory exudate both before and after ...
