Abstract:
The microflora of injury foci was studied in 49 patients with secondary chronic osteomyelitis and 8 patients with primary chronic osteomyelitis. According to the authors' data non-identified. Staphylococcus aureus and the III phagogroup were prevailing. The secondary infection of foci with gram-negative microflora was noted during the treatment. The author's believe pervomur to be an effective means for prevention and struggle against gram-negative microflora.
Insights
This study analyzed the microflora in chronic osteomyelitis patients. Staphylococcus aureus and specific phages were prevalent, with gram-negative infections emerging during treatment.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Orthopedic Surgery
Background:
- Chronic osteomyelitis presents challenges in microbial management.
- Understanding the specific microflora is crucial for effective treatment.
Observation:
- Studied microflora in 49 secondary and 8 primary chronic osteomyelitis patients.
- Identified Staphylococcus aureus and a specific phage group as predominant.
- Observed secondary gram-negative infections during treatment.
Findings:
- Staphylococcus aureus and the III phage group were the most prevalent microorganisms.
- Gram-negative bacteria frequently caused secondary infections in osteomyelitic foci during therapy.
- Pervomur demonstrated efficacy in preventing and combating gram-negative infections.
Implications:
- Highlights the dynamic nature of microbial communities in chronic osteomyelitis.
- Suggests targeted strategies against gram-negative infections are necessary.
- Indicates pervomur as a potential therapeutic agent for managing these infections.
