报告摘要:Implant-associated infections are often difficult to treat and have significant rates of treatment failure leading to chronic and recurrent infections. Currently, antibiotics (along with surgery) are the mainstays of treatment for implant-associated infections. However, the overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Moreover, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), the leading cause of various infections worldwide, has shown the ability to survive intracellularly, further complicating treatment options. In this talk, the challenges in dealing with implant-associated infections are discussed, the potential roles of intracellular bacteria are examined, and promising new therapeutic approaches are presented.
