    Abstract Diabetic foot ulcers can become chronic and non-healing despite systemic antibiotic treatment. The penetration of systematically-administered antibiotics to the site of infection is uncertain, as is the effectiveness of such levels against polymicrobial biofilms. We have developed an in vitro model to study the effectiveness of different treatments for infected diabetic foot ulcers in a wound-like environment and compared the activity of systemic levels of antibiotics with that for topically applied antibiotics released from calcium sulfate beads. This is the first study that has harvested bacteria from diabetic foot infections and recreated similar polymicrobial biofilms to those present in vivo for individual subjects. After treatment with levels of gentamicin attained in serum after systemic administration (higher than corresponding tissues concentrations) we measured a 0-2 log reduction in bacterial viability of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus or a polymicrobial biofilm. Conversely, addition of gentamicin loaded calcium sulfate beads resulted in 5-9 log reductions in P. aeruginosa, S aureus and polymicrobial biofilms derived from three subjects. We conclude that systemically administered antibiotics are likely to be inadequate for successfully treating these infections, especially given the vastly increased concentrations required to inhibit cells in a biofilm, and that topical antibiotics provide a more effective alternative.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate how wetting of Collatamp (a gentamicin-containing collagen implant [GCCI]) impacts on the gentamicin content of the implant and whether this affects its potential antibacterial efficacy.
    Methods: GCCI (Collatamp(®), EUSA Pharma [Europe], Oxford, United Kingdom) containing 130 mg gentamicin and 280 mg collagen (10 cm × 10 cm) were immersed in 300 mL normal saline for up to 6h. At set times after immersion the GCCI were removed, the saline diluted in normal human serum and the gentamicin content assayed by a validated immunoassay (Cedia, Microgenics Ltd, UK) to provide an estimate of the loss from each implant. The mean concentration data were then fitted to an exponential decay model (WinNonLin, Pharsight, US).
    Results: After a very short immersion period there was significant loss of gentamicin from the implants with a mean loss of 6.7% at 2 s, increasing to 40.5% at 1 min and essentially total loss by 6 h of immersion. Loss of gentamicin followed a complex elution profile, with elution half-lives ranging from 50 s on initial immersion to 99 min late in the elution period.
    Conclusion: This study provides clear evidence that even a short period of dipping of Collatamp implants, and probably other GCCI, before insertion into the patient results in a significant loss of gentamicin which may be of clinical significance unless the period of soaking is very short. We therefore recommend that wetting of these implants before insertion is not undertaken.

    Abstract Diabetes has major implications for public health, with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. A key factor in the development of nonhealing ulcers is infection, which often leads to the development of biofilm, gangrene, and amputation. A novel approach to treating DFUs is the local release of antibiotics from calcium sulfate beads. We have developed a novel model system to study and compare the release and efficacy of antibiotics released locally, using collagen as a substrate for biofilm growth and incorporating serum to mimic the biochemical complexity of the wound environment. We found that our soft-tissue model supports the growth of a robust Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm, and that this was completely eradicated by the introduction of calcium sulfate beads loaded with tobramycin or gentamicin. The model also enabled us to measure the concentration of these antibiotics at different distances from the beads and in simulated wound fluid bathing the collagen matrix. We additionally found that a multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm, nonsusceptible to antibiotics, nonetheless showed an almost 1-log drop in viable counts when exposed to calcium sulfate beads combined with antibiotics. Together, these data suggest that locally applied antibiotics combined with calcium sulfate provide surprising efficacy in diabetic foot infections and offer an effective alternative approach to infection management. Our study additionally establishes our new system as a biochemically and histologically relevant model that may be used to study the effectiveness of a range of therapies locally or systemically for infected DFUs.

    Abstract Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) still remains a significant problem. In line with the forecasted rise in joint replacement procedures, the number of cases of PJI is also anticipated to rise. The formation of biofilm by causative pathogens is central to the occurrence and the recalcitrance of PJI. The subject of microbial biofilms is receiving increasing attention, probably as a result of the wide acknowledgement of the ubiquity of biofilms in the natural, industrial, and clinical contexts, as well as the notorious difficulty in eradicating them. In this review, we discuss the pertinent issues surrounding PJI and the challenges posed by biofilms regarding diagnosis and treatment. In addition, we discuss novel strategies of prevention and treatment of biofilm-related PJI.

    Abstract The in vitro antibiotic elution characteristics (including the effects of cement fracture) of the following cements were studied: 1) CMW 1 with gentamicin, 2) Palacos R with gentamicin, 3) Palacos LV with gentamicin, 4) CMW 1 with gentamicin and vancomycin, 5) Palacos R with gentamicin and vancomycin, 6) CMW 1 with gentamicin and flucloxacillin, and 7) Palacos R with gentamicin and flucloxacillin. Elution of both gentamicin and vancomycin was satisfactory in all cases. There tended to be a peak of antibiotic release on cement fracture, suggesting sequestration of active antibiotic within deeper layers of the cement. Palacos LV exhibited the best antibiotic elution characteristics but with the highest post-fracture peak. Palacos R was superior to CMW 1. Flucloxacillin was present only until day 4. Adulteration of proprietary Palacos R/gentamicin with flucloxacillin produced prolonged high elution of gentamicin, possibly due to porosity. Flucloxacilloic acid (microbiologically inactive) was present from day 4 onwards after flucloxacillin was added to cement. These findings suggest that flucloxacillin is not a suitable additive to bone cement in revision surgery. (Hip International 2002; 1: 23-7).
