This is interesting - providing individualised antibiotic plans safely reduces #carbapenem prescriptions.

But isn't this just what happens in specialties, like #hematology or #intensivecare, that get regular #microbiology / #infectiousdisease #MDT review of their #antibiotic prescriptions?

The optimal treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains uncertain.

V sensible table. Puts in writing & stratifies the question I always have in my head - what have you got to lose by incorrectly stopping Abx after a DAIR?

Essentially, if it could all go wrong, keep going. Otherwise, stop & see.

(the table is better than my summary, I know!)

Notoriously difficult to disentangle mortality attributed to #clostridium #difficile and other co-morbidities.

Either way, it's not good to get #Cdiff

"Aggressive surgical debridement with a high local concentration of targeted antibiotics at time of 1st stage revision for hip PJI, without prolonged systemic antibiotics, provides a high rate of success"

V interesting and thought-provoking paper about local delivery of antibiotics into joints, sparing systemic antibiotics. #AMS #stewardship #AMR #IDMastodon #MedMastodon #orthopedics #infection
