🆕️⚡️⚡️Narrative review Clinical Infectious Diseases by 🌟s Nico Cortes-Penfield MD FACP FIDSA 🦴💊 How we approach suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT) following debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention for prosthetic joint infection #DAIR #IDXposts #OMWiki #PJI Cc Brad Spellberg academic.oup.com/cid/article-ab…

How we approach suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT) after DAIR (with Nico Cortes-Penfield MD FACP FIDSA 🦴💊, Laura Damioli, Dr. Angela Hewlett, Laura Certain, MD, PhD, Dr. Jessica Seidelman and Dr. Michael Henry) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37590953/

Indefinite suppressive antibiotic therapy is 💯 percent one of those strategies that we ID doctors know well, frequently employ or at least consider, and yet rarely have substantive definitive data to support. Great review of this approach in prosthetic joint infection here.

Would you inject steroids into a prosthetic knee?

🆕️🔥Retrospective multicentre cohort study of PJI Exclusive oral antibiotic therapy or with ≤3 d of IV Abx for 6 weeks was associated with a similar rate of management failure after surgery ompared with other antibiotic therapy options Brad Spellberg academic.oup.com/jac/article/do…

A good reminder that it can be ok to stop antibiotics after a year for PJI treated with DAIR, even for "sticky" bugs. Though in this case if the vascular graft had been proven to be infected then I probably wouldn't have been brave enough to stop chronic amox.

Happy to share our latest, out today in mBio. We treated a patient with phage therapy and because of their willingness to participate in our research, we studied what happened throughout their medical journey. Congrats to Madison Stellfox and co-authors! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
