[Antibiotic therapy of osteoarticular infections in the adult].
The treatment of bone and joint infections remains difficult. A combination of prolonged antibiotic therapy and surgery is generally required. However, antibiotic and surgical treatment strategies lack standardisation. The optimal antimicrobial therapy must be adjusted both to the isolated microorganism(s) and to the patient, and must be diffused into the bone. It is difficult to make evidence-based recommendations on the treatment of these infections, as very little high quality clinical evidence exists.
