Abstract

A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate long-term safety of tedizolid as suppressive antimicrobial treatment in patients with implant-associated bone and joint infection caused by multidrug-resistant gram-positive pathogens. Seventeen patients received tedizolid with a median duration of treatment of 6 months. No patients developed a serious adverse event.

Keywords: bone and joint infection; linezolid; periprosthetic joint infection; suppressive antimicrobial therapy; tedizolid.
