[The use of antibiotic treatment in osteoarticular infections]

The authors emphasise the interest of identification of the germ during bone and joint infections, and recall the main data, often fragmentary, one the diffusion of antibiotics into bone. Concerning the practical use of antibiotics, they emphasise the necessity of basing their treatment on bacteriological examinations before choosing an association of two antibiotics, the effect of which will be regularly assessed by a study of the bactericidal power of the serum.
