Osteomyelitis of the jaw: time to rethink the bone sampling strategy?

Résumé

This work aims at describing the diversity of osteomyelitis of the jaw (OJ) and at assessing the relevance of a new method designed to avoid salivary contamination during bone sampling in order to improve microbiological analysis and clinical decision-making. We reviewed medical and microbiological data of patients with a suspected OJ based on clinical and/or CT-scan signs and at least one bone sample made for microbiological analysis. During the study period, a new procedure for intraoral bone sampling was elaborated by surgeons and infectious diseases specialists authoring this article (based on stratified samples, cleaning of the surgical site and change of instruments between each sample). A comparison of the microbiological analyses between the two procedures was performed. From 2012 to 2017, 56 patients were included. Median age was 58 years (11-90), sex ratio: 1.24. Main risk factors were having a dental disease (n = 24) or cancer (n = 21). Nineteen patients with the new sample procedure were compared to 37 patients with standard procedure, especially non-cancer patients (n = 16 and 19, respectively). With the new procedure, a median of 3 (1-7) microorganisms per sample was recovered, vs. 7 (1-14) with the former (p < 0.001), a significant decrease of the microbial density was observed for all types of microbes, especially in deeper samples and cultures were more frequently sterile. The way sampling is managed deeply influences microbiological analysis. This strategy facilitates the distinction between pathogens and contaminants and should constitute the first step toward an evidence-based antimicrobial strategy for OJ.
