Antibiotic-loaded #bonesubstitutes (i) act as a carrier to deliver locally high concentrations of antibiotic that have strong local antibacterial effects ; and (ii) provide a biological setting that promotes bone regeneration.

Thanks to 9th EKMUD for let me presenting innovative options in bone and joint infections such as #phages and antibiotic-loaded #bonesubstitutes that can salvage patients from amputation: here #cerament with genta and vanco ➡️ local combination to treat and prevent superinfection
As a topic editors @FrontiersIn we believe that the next years will be pivotal to change the burden of bone and joint infections, especially #pji and #osteomyelitis, with #phages or innovative #bonesubstitutes or #cement ➡️ submit in this research topic!

What are alternatives for patients with chronic #BJI? As discussed last month during my talk at #ECCMID2019, many options are emergent to preserve the function: #bonesubstitutes, subcutaneous antibiotics, #antipersisters, GMP #bacteriophages and promising #bacteriophagelysins!
