Microbiologically and clinically diagnosed vertebral osteomyelitis: impact of prior antibiotic exposure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We retrospectively reviewed medical records to identify the factors that affect the results of culture in patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis. In multivariate analysis, the presence of paravertebral abscess was associated with positive results of microbiologic culture. Prior antibiotic exposure, especially of longer duration, was strongly associated with negative results.

Susceptibility Pattern of Microorganisms Isolated by Percutaneous Needle Biopsy in Nonbacteremic Pyogenic Vertebral Osteomyelitis.
Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is diagnosed according to several lines of evidence: clinical, biological, radiological, and histological. Definitive diagnosis requires the isolation of a causative pathogen or histological confirmation. The aim of our study was to describe the microorganisms isolated by percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) and to analyze their susceptibility patterns, in orde...
متن کاملThe impact of prebiopsy antibiotics on pathogen recovery in hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis.
BACKGROUND Biopsy specimens are often obtained in the evaluation of hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis. The effect of prebiopsy antibiotic exposure on pathogen recovery is unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult inpatients with hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis at a tertiary care hospital from 1 January 2003 through 31 July 2007. Antibiotic exposure within 14 ...

BACKGROUND Patients with hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis (HVO) occasionally require instrumentation for spinal stabilization. However, placing instrumentation in the setting of spinal infection raises concerns about recurrent infection due to bacteria adhering to the foreign material. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic outcomes of patients with HVO who underwent instrumented surge...

Daptomycin, a novel cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, exhibits rapid bactericidal activity in vitro against most clinically relevant gram-positive organisms, including drug-resistant pathogens. Herein we describe a patient in whom methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with reduced susceptibility to daptomycin was responsible for bacteremia and progressive vertebral osteomyelitis during dapto...
متن کاملThe Etiology of Pyogenic Vertebral Osteomyelitis and Evaluation of Biopsy Specimen Cultures in Hospitalized Patients
Identifying the causative pathogens in patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis is important for optimizing antibiotic therapy. Thus, we examined patient characteristics and investigated the efficacy of the combined use of blood culture and image-guided biopsy culture for identifying the causative pathogens of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis. A case series study was conducted in hospital...
