Official Title: Impact of Rifampicin in Treatment Outcome of Cutibacterium Acnes Prosthetic Joint Infections
Brief Summary:
Cutibacterium acnes is involved in nearly 40% of shoulder prosthetic joint infections (PJI).After shoulder prothesis, C. acnes mainly affects hip prosthesis.One recent work from the Lyon (France) bone and joint infections reference center with data focusing mainly on hip and knee PJI has reported that C. acnes is the leading cause of late-onset PJI after coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) (late acute PJI not considered).In such late-onset device-related infection, biofilm, as produced by C. acnes during PJI…
