    Abstract Background: Bacterial biofilm is a key component in the pathogenesis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Synovial fluid has been shown to have inhibitory activity against planktonic bacteria. However, the contribution of synovial fluid in prevention of Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) planktonic and biofilm forms is unknown.
    Objectives: To test the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of synovial fluid, including that containing cefazolin, against MSSA and MRSA.
    Materials and methods: We determined the antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activities of synovial fluid collected from patients given preoperative cefazolin while undergoing elective arthroplasty surgery. MICs of cefazolin were determined for planktonic and biofilm cultures of biofilm-forming strains of MSSA and MRSA.
    Results: Synovial fluid inhibited planktonic and biofilm cultures of MSSA and MRSA. Cefazolin-containing synovial fluid had greater antibacterial and antibiofilm activities than the same cefazolin concentration in glucose LB (GLB) broth. MSSA and MRSA MICs of cefazolin suspended in synovial fluid were 0.7 mg/L. The MICs of cefazolin diluted in GLB broth were higher, measuring 1.4 mg/L for MSSA and 23 mg/L for MRSA.
    Conclusions: Synovial fluid containing cefazolin inhibited biofilm- and planktonic-state MRSA cultures. This may explain the apparent effect of cefazolin in the prevention of MRSA PJI.

    Abstract Background: In this study, we aimed to assess the risk factors associated with mortality due to an infectious disease over the short-, medium-, and long-term based on a data-linkage study for patients discharged from an infectious disease unit in North Queensland, Australia, between 2006 and 2011.
    Methods: Age-sex standardised mortality rates (SMR) for different subgroups were estimated, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate and compare the survival experience among different groups.
    Results: Overall, the mortality rate in the hospital cohort was higher than expected in comparison with the Queensland population (SMR: 15.3, 95%CI: 14.9-15.6). The long-term mortality risks were significantly higher for severe infectious diseases than non-infectious diseases for male sex, Indigenous, residential aged care and elderly individuals.
    Conclusion: In general, male sex, Indigenous status, age and comorbidity were associated with an increased hazard for all-cause deaths.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to systematically review the non-endocarditis manifestations of chronic Q fever and understand the significance of non-specific symptoms like pain and fatigue in chronic endovascular, osteomyelitis and abscess due to chronic Q fever. We performed a systematic review using Pub Med (the National Library of Medicine (NLM)) and Scopus databases. All studies in English on chronic Q fever that listed clinical manifestations other than infective endocarditis (IE) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Meta-analysis was carried out to investigate the effects of patient's health outcomes (pain, fatigue, the need for surgery and mortality) on vascular infections, osteomyelitis and abscess. Among cases not presenting as IE or CFS, vascular infections and osteomyelitis were the most common chronic Q fever disease manifestations. There were distinct regional patterns of disease. Compared with infective endocarditis, these are significantly associated with increased risk of pain: osteomyelitis (relative risk (RR) = 4.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.36-5.07), abscess (RR = 3.59, 95% CI 3.28-3.93) and vascular infection (RR = 2.46, 95% CI 1.99-3.03). The strongest significant association was observed between osteomyelitis and pain. There was no significant association between fatigue and these manifestations. Clinicians have to be aware of uncommon manifestations of chronic Q fever as they present with non-specific symptoms and are significantly associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The findings emphasise the need to investigate patients with positive chronic Q fever serology presenting with acute or chronic pain for possible underlying complications.
