      <MainHeadline>Introduction</MainHeadline><Pgraph>Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are critical for progression and prognosis of bone and joint infections. These include radical surgical debridement, sequestrectomy or joint synovectomy, stabilization of fracture&#47;pseudarthrosis and skin-soft tissue defect repair. Antibiotic treatment is indicated (Table 1 <ImgLink imgNo="1" imgType="table"/>). </Pgraph><Pgraph>If possible, attempts should be made to obtain sample material for microbiological processing. This is especially true in the case of chronic osteomyelitis, in which there is no acute need for action and thus diagnosis should be the top priority. The removal of sample material from the bone, preferably before the start of antimicrobial therapy or after an antibiotic break lasting at least 2 weeks, is considered standard clinical procedure. If, in the case of acute osteomyelitis, calculated initial treatment has been started, the change to targeted treatment should take place as soon as the pathogens have been identified and the results of sensitivity testing are available <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="2"></TextLink>.</Pgraph><Pgraph>Traditionally, initial high-dose parenteral treatment is recommended. Sequential therapy is possible if adequate drug levels can be ensured with oral medication. Based on the available studies, initial high-dose oral treatment with clindamycin or trimethoprim&#47;sulfamethoxazole can be carried out in cases of chronic osteomyelitis <TextLink reference="3"></TextLink>. Doxycycline and tigecycline have very different penetration depending on the type of infected bone and should therefore only be used in special cases. A combination of rifampicin with fusidic acid has been used for a long time without any issues but can lead to low levels of fusidic acid through induction of CYP3A4 and should be used with restraint until further notice due to the risk resistance induction <TextLink reference="4"></TextLink>. In the first two weeks, additional administration of fosfomycin may be considered, regardless of the origin of osteomyelitis <TextLink reference="5"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="7"></TextLink>. The possibilities, advantages and disadvantages of out-patient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) should be discussed with the patient <TextLink reference="8"></TextLink>.</Pgraph><Pgraph>With regard to the choice of therapeutic agent, there appears to be no difference regarding treatment success or recurrence rate between bacteriostatic and bactericidal antimicrobial agents due to the long duration of treatment which is necessary in any case <TextLink reference="9"></TextLink>.</Pgraph></TextBlock>

Die Wahl der antimikrobiellen Wirkstoffe entspricht der f&#252;r die h&#228;matogene Osteomyelitis, da der Erreger vor Beginn der Behandlung meist nicht bekannt ist. Neben der Abnahme mehrerer Blutkulturen sollte auch mithilfe der CT-gest&#252;tzten Punktion der Versuch einer Erregerisolierung unternommen werden. Bei unklarer Genese ist eine Fokussuche durchzuf&#252;hren.

Das beim D&#233;bridement gewonnene Material sollte auf jeden Fall zur mikrobiologischen Aufarbeitung geschickt werden. Zur antimikrobiellen Therapie werden ein Aminopenicillin&#47;BLI (i.v.), ein Cephalosporin der Gruppe 2 oder 3 (i.v.) oder Clindamycin empfohlen. Bei hohem Risiko f&#252;r multiresistente Staphylokokken k&#246;nnen Daptomycin, Linezolid, Teicoplanin oder ein hochdosiertes Cephalosporin der Gruppe 5 eingesetzt werden. F&#252;r letztere gibt es bislang jedoch wenig Erfahrungen; insbesondere stellt sich die Frage nach einer m&#246;glichen Resistenzentwicklung aufgrund der notwendigen langen Therapiedauer <TextLink reference="14"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>. Die Verwendung von Vancomycin kann wegen der geringen Knochenpenetration bei gleichzeitig limitierten maximalen Serumspiegeln aufgrund des nephrotoxischen Risikos nicht empfohlen werden. Rifampicin zeigt eine gute Penetration, sowohl in den Knochen als auch in Biofilme. Es ist somit grunds&#228;tzlich als zus&#228;tzliche Therapieoption geeignet.

For antimicrobial treatment, aminopenicillin&#47;BLI (i.v.), a cephalosporin of group 2 or 3 (i.v.) or clindamycin are recommended. Where there is high risk of multidrug-resistant staphylococci, daptomycin, linezolid, teicoplanin or a high-dose cephalosporin of group 5 can be used. For the latter, however, there is little experience so far; there is in particular a question of possible resistance development due to the necessarily long duration of treatment <TextLink reference="14"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>. The use of vancomycin cannot be recommended because of its low bone penetration and simultaneously limited maximum serum levels due to the nephrotoxic risk. Rifampicin shows good penetration, both in the bones and in biofilms. It is therefore generally suitable as an additional treatment option. However, its use should be limited as far as possible to the treatment of foreign body-associated infections. When using linezolid, initially a higher dosage of up to 3x 0.6 g or a front-loading strategy of 2x 1.2 g can be considered.

The correct dosage of rifampicin is uncontroversial. While often a dosage of <TextGroup><PlainText>2x 0.3&#8211;0.45 g</PlainText></TextGroup> per day is recommended, there are also pharmacokinetic arguments for a dosage of 1x 0.6 g <TextLink reference="36"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="38"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="39"></TextLink>.
