Summary

Microbial analysis of vertebral osteomyelitis revealed Staphylococcus dominance. Surgical intervention, like vertebral resection, significantly reduced infection detection rates in both subacute and chronic stages.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Hematogenous osteomyelitis of the vertebral column is a serious condition requiring effective treatment strategies.
  • Understanding the microbial flora and its penetration into bone is crucial for managing vertebral osteomyelitis.
  • Surgical intervention is often necessary, but its impact on microbial load needs further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the microbic flora in patients with vertebral osteomyelitis.
  • To compare the rate of infective agent penetration into vertebral bone.
  • To evaluate the effect of surgical intervention on microbial detection.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of microbic flora from pus and granulations of 155 patients.
  • Detection rates of microbial agents were assessed based on disease stage and duration.
  • Comparative analysis of infective agent penetration into spongeous bone following vertebral resection.

Main Results:

  • Microbial agents were detected in 81.2% (subacute), 48.5% (chronic <1 year), and 74.3% (chronic >1 year) of patients.
  • Staphylococcus was the predominant microorganism, found in 69.2%-83.0% of cases.
  • Resection of one-third of vertebral height reduced infective agent detection by 2 times in subacute and 4 times in chronic stages.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical intervention, specifically vertebral resection, can significantly reduce microbial load in vertebral osteomyelitis.
  • These findings aid in verifying surgical indications for hematogenous osteomyelitis of the vertebral column.
  • Targeted surgical approaches may improve treatment outcomes by reducing persistent infection.
