Suppressive Antibiotic Therapy

The goal of this podcast is to have both infectious disease physicians and orthopedic surgeons sit down to discuss the “joint” prevention, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal infections. We break down the existing data and open the lines of communication between the medical and surgical specialties to help navigate these challenging clinical cases.

  • Best Podcast on Bone and Joint Infections - and a great listen for anyone interested.

    This podcast is remarkable - how many other medical podcasts can you think of which feature two hosts from different specialities?

    Drs Seidelman and Plate clearly know their stuff, but they are also engaging hosts, and they encourage guests to discuss their own topics of interest in an approachable, informal, friendly, and fun way.

    If I can make one recommendation: let’s have some surgeons on “Bugged and Baffled” - let’s discuss some of the difficult surgical decisions that are made, how th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Is there a role for suppressive antibiotic treatment (SAT) only in patients with PJI?” Part 2
Q: How do antibiotics and their susceptibility profiles influence SAT choices compared to the actual microorganism involved?
The discussions emphasize that the availability of effective antibiotics and their stability against biofilms and resistance patterns often guides SAT more than the specific bug identity itself.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Is there a role for suppressive antibiotic treatment (SAT) only in patients with PJI?” Part 2
Q: What factors drive the decision to initiate SAT in a patient with a chronic, draining sinus tract and limited surgical options?
Decisions hinge on patient candidacy for surgery, the antibiotic susceptibility landscape, and the practicalities of achieving a tolerable and safe prolonged suppression when curative surgery is not feasible.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Is there a role for Suppressive Antibiotic Treatment only in patients with PJI?” Part 1
Q: All right, so we are going to get started with the basics. Michael, can you give us a quick overview of what suppressive antibiotic therapy is and in what settings it is commonly used?
SAT is used mainly for two groups: chronically inoperable, active infections and patients after DAIR with retained hardware where surgery isn't feasible or beneficial. It's often intended to control symptoms and improve quality of life, sometimes indefinitely, though evidence is heterogeneous and not universally supportive.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Why does antibiotic duration after DAIR for PJI matter?" Part 2
Q: Does the guideline specify IV vs oral therapy, and how should therapy be chosen?#
The panel could not comment specifically on the route of administration; they emphasized that the antibiotic chosen should be highly bioavailable and appropriately targeted to the organism, with duration determined on a case-by-case basis depending on patient factors and organism resistance patterns.
ICM Guidelines Discussion: "Why does antibiotic duration after DAIR for PJI matter?" Part 2
Q: What did the group ultimately decide at ICM regarding antibiotic duration after DAIR for acute PJI?
The final recommendation was for a minimum of 12 weeks of antibiotics following DAIR, with the caveat that more studies are needed to assess the impact of different agents and microbial etiologies, and that guidance on duration may vary by joint type and clinical context.

Frequently Asked Questions About Joint Approach

What is Joint Approach about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two medical experts, one infectious disease physician and one orthopedic surgeon, co-host a series that centers on musculoskeletal infections with a practical, data-driven approach. Episodes frequently feature a mix of clinical decision-making, interpretation of guidelines (notably the International Consensus Meeting discussions), and real-world case discussions around prosthetic joint infections, DAIR strategies, long-acting antibiotics, and novel diagnostics. A recurring strength is the integration of surgical and ID perspectives, plus guest researchers and clinicians who illuminate both the biology of infection and the patient-centered implications of management choices. Notably, the show also explores broader impacts such as the psychos... more
