“…The combination of fusidic acid and rifampin is effective against MRSA infections (4,(16)(17)(18). Occasionally, such a combination can be a treatment option for heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) or VISA infections (19), as supported by our finding that fusidic acid plus rifampin is effective in decreasing bacterial loads in the biofilm model.…”

“…A major issue in the management of prosthesic joint infection (PJI) is the relative difficulty in making a prompt diagnosis, because symptoms, signs and investigations may be non-specific (15) and there is a continuous need to increase the diagnostic tools and clinical parameters that could be informative of the infection (16)(17)(18). In this study we evaluated the diagnostic potential of iron status markers in the diagnosis of postoperative prosthesis joint infection (POPJI).…”

“…Ancak, cerrahi tedaviyi kabul etmeyen ya da komorbiditeleri nedeniyle cerrahi uygulanamayan hastalarda, erken ya da geç akut PPE nedeniyle modüler parçalar değiştiril-meden yalnızca debridman yapılanlarda ve geç kronik fonksiyonel kötü sonuç ve daha düşük hasta konforu ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. [42,43] Bu nedenle, maliyetleri de göz önünde bulundurarak, uygun hastalarda tek aşamalı revizyon yapma eğilimi giderek artmaktadır. Kronik PPE'de enfeksiyonun sistemik bulguları, sinus traktı ve yumuşak doku örtünme problemlerinin olmadığı kültür pozitif, dikkatle seçilmiş hasta grubunda, etkili ve duyarlı bir antibiyoterapi uygulanabiliyor ise tek aşamada protez değişimi ve uzun süreli antibiyoterapi ile revizyon giderek ön plana çıkmaktadır.…”
