Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Prosthesis-Related Infections:

1.	Vancomycin FDA LinkGeneric 07/01/2007 - "This study suggested that CWU could effectively enhance vancomycin release and antimicrobial efficacy of ALBC, which may be of clinical significance for treating prosthesis-related infections." 06/01/2009 - "Bone tissue and plasma concentrations of linezolid and vancomycin in rabbits with prosthesis-related infection due to MRSA."

2.	Bone Cements (Bone Glue)IBA 12/01/2006 - "The objective of this study was to investigate whether the viability of bacteria derived from patients with a prosthesis-related infection could be further decreased when antibiotic release from bone cements was combined with application of pulsed ultrasound. " 11/01/2008 - "The use of antibiotic loaded bone cements (ALBCs) has become a common clinical practice in the prevention and treatment of prosthesis-related infections. " 02/01/2004 - "This review presents the backgrounds of bone cements, prosthesis-related infection and antibiotic-loaded bone cements. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	AntigensIBA 12/01/2007 - "In conclusion, the encouraging results obtained in the animal study could not be readily applied for the diagnosis of staphylococcal orthopedic-prosthesis-related infections in humans, and PNAG does not seem to be an appropriate antigen for this purpose. " 12/01/2007 - "Potential use of poly-N-acetyl-beta-(1,6)-glucosamine as an antigen for diagnosis of staphylococcal orthopedic-prosthesis-related infections."

4.	Rifampin (Rifampicin)FDA LinkGeneric 02/01/2000 - "Although numerous antimicrobial-coated surfaces have been suggested to guard against prosthesis-related infection, only a few, such as minocylcine plus rifampin, are clinically protective. " 12/01/1997 - "The early results with quinolones and rifampin for prosthesis-related infection are encouraging. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 09/01/1994 - "Thus, failure of glycopeptide antibiotics to cure prosthesis-related infection is not due to poor penetration of drugs into biofilm but likely due to diminished antimicrobial effect on bacteria in the biofilm environment." 09/01/1994 - "To evaluate the adequacy of penetration of antibiotics into biofilm, a novel in vitro model for prosthesis-related infection was developed. " 01/01/1990 - "Clean-air systems in combination with perioperative systemic antibiotics reduce prosthesis-related infections from 3 or 4 per cent to a few per thousand. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
6.	Virulence Factors (Pathogenicity Factors)IBA 12/15/2000 - "These differences in mode of prosthesis-related infection are explained by differences in virulence factors." Order ALL the reference details at left...

10.	Immunoglobulin M (IgM)IBA 12/01/2007 - "The comparative study of healthy individuals and patients with staphylococcal prosthesis-related infections showed that (i) relatively high levels of anti-PNAG IgG were present in the blood sera of the healthy control group, (ii) the corresponding levels in the infected patients were slightly but not significantly higher, and (iii) only 1 of 10 patients had a level of anti-PNAG IgM significantly higher than that of the control group.
