Summary

Antibiotic diffusion into bone is crucial for treating bone and joint infections. This study classifies antibiotics by bone penetration, aiding clinical choices for difficult infections.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Bone and joint infections pose treatment challenges due to variable antibiotic penetration into bone tissue.
  • Existing studies on antibiotic bone diffusion are inconsistent, hindering clear interpretation.
  • Antibiotic assays typically use bone biopsies from orthopedic procedures, with intravenous administration being common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and classify antibiotic diffusion into bone tissue.
  • To provide a framework for selecting antibiotics in bone and joint infections.
  • To guide antibiotic prophylaxis in orthopedic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Classification of antibiotics into good (>30%), moderate (15-30%), and low (<15%) bone diffusion categories based on existing studies.
  • Review of antibiotic assay methodologies, including agar gel diffusion and high-performance liquid chromatography.
  • Calculation of the inhibitor quotient (IQ) to assess antibiotic efficacy against common bone pathogens.

Main Results:

  • Fluoroquinolones, teicoplanin, macrolides, rifampicin, and trimethoprim show good bone diffusion.
  • Moderate diffusion is observed with ureidopenicillins, cephalosporins (2nd/3rd gen), aminoglycosides, clindamycin, fosfomycin, and vancomycin.
  • Aminopenicillins, penicillin M, and cephalosporins (1st gen) exhibit low bone diffusion; pristinamycin data is unavailable.

Conclusions:

  • Antibiotic bone diffusion classifications, though based on pharmacokinetic data, can guide prophylaxis in orthopedic surgery.
  • Calculating the inhibitor quotient (IQ) provides a practical method for selecting effective antibiotics for bone infections.
  • This approach aids in choosing optimal antibiotic therapy for challenging bone and joint infections.
