Osteomyelitis of the jaw: resistance to clindamycin in patients with prior antibiotics exposure

Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to review our clinical experience in patients with osteomyelitis (OM) of the jaw, focusing on aspects of antimicrobial resistance. A retrospective review of the medical records of adult patients with jaw OM was carried out. Among 46 cases of jaw OM, the cause was odontogenic in 32 (seven had recent dental implants and four bisphosphonate osteonecrosis), postoperative/post-traumatic in eight, and secondary to osteoradionecrosis in six. Clinical features were chronic in 91.3%. The i… Show more

“…Controlled drug delivery by means of implantable nanoparticles has been shown to produce local concentrations of the released drug well beyond the MIC levels and is considered a more effective means of delivery compared to intravenous route for specific applications that include lowly vascular tissues, including those comprising bone 31–34. Although CL resistance does occur in S aureus 35 as well as among patients with osteomyelitis and with prior antibiotics exposure,36 the antibacterial assessment reported hereby suggests that the application of antibiotic‐loaded CAP particles analyzed would not be any more likely than the traditional therapy to result in spontaneous drug resistance during treatment.…”

“…Long-term abuse of antibiotics results in drug resistance, gradually increasing the challenges of treating infectious diseases [24,25]. This study showed that the recurrence rate and incidence of life-threatening complications for patients with pre-admission antibiotic administration were significantly higher.…”

“…For patients without pre-admission antibiotic administration, only 4.9% had life-threatening complications, and 8.5% had disease recurrence. Pre-admission antibiotic administration without consultation leads to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, allowing residual bacteria to remain, which increases the risk of CSOJ recurrence when the patient’s immunity reduces [25]. The time from the onset of symptoms to presentation for those who had pre-admission antibiotic administration was longer than that for those who did not receive antibiotics.…”

“…The anatomic characteristics of the maxillofacial region, the close proximity to the sinuses, and the microbiotic flora of the oral cavity and air passages differentiate the course and behaviour of jaw osteomyelitis from that of the long bones. The ratio of the frequency of mandibular osteomyelitis to that of maxillary osteomyelitis has been reported to be 3:1, 5:1, 9:1, 17:1 and 45:1. This predilection for the mandible may be attributed to the abundant blood supply and to the morphology of the maxillary bone, such as the thin cortical plates and the relative paucity of medullary tissue.…”
