“…Infection is one of the most common causes for emergency admissions in orthopaedic surgery along with trauma. S. aureus was the most commonly cultured organism in this study and is consistent with reports from all over the world (Table ). Only one adult in the series had Haemophilus influenzae infection.…”

“…A study from France, which spanned three decades between the years of 1979‐2008, showed minimal changes in the rates and nature of causative organisms of SA. In contrast, studies from west Texas, California and other countries identified an increase in the rates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) SA 1,3,4,11‐16 …”

Background: Septic arthritis (SA) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Delayed or inadequate treatment may result in joint destruction, osteomyelitis and sepsis. Like other types of infection, the causative agents of SA may have changed over time. Early targeted intervention is important in cases of SA and can be achieved only by understanding the current trends in the microbiology of SA.Objectives: To determine the trends in the microbiology of SA over the last two decades. Methods:We conducted a retrospective study including all patients 18 and older with culture positive, surgically treated, native joint septic arthritis (NJSA), admitted to a single tertiary medical centre in Boston between the years of 1997 and 2015.We excluded cases of osteomyelitis and septic bursitis. We focused our analysis on the microbiology data which included synovial fluid gram stain and culture, blood cultures and synovial biopsy cultures.

“…However, the negative rate of bacterial culture results ranged from 30% to 50% [20,21]. Even in cases with positive culture results, the pathogenic bacteria may take days to culture and isolate, often delaying the use of the most sensitive antibiotics [22]. Early bacteriological culture of pus collected by local puncture to identify pathogenic bacteria and conduct sensitivity testing may effectively improve the cure rate of the disease and reduce its complications.…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic methods of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis and the clinical efficacy of fenestration decompression, focus debridement, and convective flushing. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of our hospital from January 2011 to December 2018. There were 21 males and 19 females, aged 1–70 years, with an average age of 21.45 ± 15.23 years, including 27 children and adolescents. The pathogenic sites were as follows: femur 20 cases, tibia 16 cases, humerus 2 cases, ulna 1 case, and radius 1 case. The systemic and local symptoms of patients before and after surgery were evaluated. The results of white blood cell count (WBC), NEUT%, hs-CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), imaging examination, bacteriology, and pathological examination were analyzed. Fenestration decompression, focus debridement, and convective flushing were used at the site of lesion in the surgery.
