99mtc-Ubiquicidin [29–41], a Promising Radiopharmaceutical to Differentiate Orthopedic Implant Infections from Sterile Inflammation
Ubiquicidin (UBI) [29-41] is a synthetic cationic antimicrobial peptide that preferentially binds to bacterial cell membrane at the site of infection. We aimed to assess diagnostic value of 99mTc-UBI [29-41] as a radiopharmaceutical in differentiation of bacterial infection from sterile inflammation in suspected orthopedic implants. Nine patients suspected for orthopedic implant infection, all ...

conclusions fortunately, due to its lower virulence as compared to its cousin s. aureus, pji due to cons may display higher remission rates than s. aureus-caused pji after combined surgical and medical management. results the main differences between the pathogens lie in the clinical presentation of pji, the presumed origin of infection, and the presence of a higher proportion of methicillin-re...
متن کاملInfection in orthopedic implant surgery, its risk factors and outcome.
BACKGROUND Infection in orthopedic surgery is a disaster both for the patient and surgeon. Although its incidence has been reduced due to modern theatre facilities and aseptic measures but in developing countries its prevalence is still high. It is better to prevent infection rather than to treat it. The objective of this study is to know the frequency of infection in orthopedic implant surgery...
متن کاملPresence of a biomaterial implant facilitates induction of experimental infective endocarditis due to streptococci and staphylococci
Infective endocarditis (IE) usually is studied using animals with catheters inserted into the heart, which causes formation of platelet-fibrin thrombi (vegetations, VGs). We used two rabbit models to study the respective roles of the catheter and the VGs in the development of IE. The influence of the catheter was studied by either removing the catheter before bacterial challenge, or leaving the...
