Résumé

OBJECTIVES: The high microbiologic diversity encountered in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) makes the choice of empirical antimicrobial therapies challenging, especially in cases of implant retention or one-stage exchange. Despite the risk of dysbiosis and toxicity, the combination of vancomycin with a broad-spectrum β-lactam is currently recommended in all cases, even if Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) might be less represented in late PJI. In this context, this study aimed to describe the microbiologic epidemiology of PJI according to the chronology of infection. METHODS: This prospective cohort study (2011-2016) evaluated the microbiologic aetiology of 567 PJI according to time of occurrence from prosthesis implantation-early (\textless3~months), delayed (3-12~months) and late (\textgreater12~months)-as well as mechanism of acquisition. RESULTS: Initial microbiologic documentation (n~=~511; 90.1%) disclosed 164 (28.9%) Staphylococcus aureus (including 26 (16.1%) methicillin-resistant S.~aureus), 162 (28.6%) coagulase-negative staphylococci (including 81 (59.1%) methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci), 80 (14.1%) Enterobacteriaceae, 74 (13.1%) streptococci and 60 (10.6%) Cutibacterium acnes. Considering nonhaematogenous late PJI (n~=~182), Enterobacteriaceae (n~=~7; 3.8%) were less represented than in the first year after implantation (n~=~56; 17.2%; p \textless0.001), without difference regarding nonfermenting GNB (4.6% and 2.7%, respectively). The prevalence of anaerobes (n~=~40; 21.9%; including 32 (80.0%) C.~acnes) was higher in late PJI (p \textless0.001). Consequently, a broad-spectrum β-lactam might be useful in 12 patients (6.6%) with late PJI only compared to 66 patients (20.3%) with early/delayed PJI (p \textless0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Considering the minority amount of GNB in late postoperative PJI, the empirical use of a broad-spectrum β-lactam should be reconsidered, especially when a two-stage exchange is planned.
