Antibiotic resistance in early periprosthetic joint infection

Abstract: The majority of bacteria causing early PJI are resistant to cefazolin. Whilst many organisms cultured were susceptible to vancomycin, there is currently insufficient evidence to justify its routine use as a prophylactic. However, when treating PJI in the early postoperative period, surgeons should be aware that most organisms will be methicillin-resistant, and the choice of empirical antibiotic treatment should reflect this.

“…3238 In primary and revision periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), the most common infecting organisms were S. aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS), 3436 and most strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic (Table 2). 32–37 Alarmingly, in some cases, 36 CNS resistance to both methicillin and gentamicin seems to be much higher than S. aureus and has been increasing, which is a concern for future antibiotic prophylaxis.…”

“…Staphylococci, the most common PJI pathogens, access the periprosthetic space either during the perioperative period or through hematogenous dissemination 3 . Recent reports suggest that antibioticresistant strains are becoming more common 4,5 .…”

“…The cost of treatment of a single episode of PJI can escalate to USD 50,000 or more (9). The increase in antibiotic resistance among hospital-acquired infections like PJI has also increased the risk of failing to successfully treat PJI (15, 16). It is therefore clear that PJI presents a major challenge from both a health-care and economic perspective (17).…”
