Second-Line Antibiotic Agents in Patient-Reported Penicillin or Cephalosporin Allergy Have No Negative Impact on Antibiotic Resistance After Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to compare causative bacteria and their antibiotic resistance profiles in patients developing a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) based on preoperative prophylactic antibiotic regimens in primary total hip (THA) and primary total and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (TKA/UKA).

METHODS: We reviewed all cases of PJI occurring after primary THA and primary TKA/UKA, between 2011 and 2020 in a tertiary referral hospital. The standard preoperative prophylactic antibiotic for primary joint arthroplasty was cefuroxime and recommended second-line agent was clindamycin. Patients were divided by the replaced joint and analyzed independently.

RESULTS: In the THA group, culture-positive PJI was detected in 61 of 3,123 (2.0%) cefuroxime-administered cases and 6 of 206 (2.9%) noncefuroxime-administered cases. In the TKA/UKA group, culture positive PJI was identified in 21 of 2,455 (0.9%) cefuroxime-administered cases and in 3 of 211 (1.4%) noncefuroxime administered cases. The most commonly isolated bacteria in both groups were coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS). There were no statistically significant differences of pathogen spectrum depending on the preoperative antibiotic regimen detected. Antibiotic resistance of isolated bacteria was significantly different in 4 of 27 (14.8%) analyzed antibiotics in THA and in 3 of 22 (13.6%) analyzed antibiotics in TKA/UKA. In all cohorts, a high occurrence of oxacillin-resistant CNS (50.0 to 100.0%) and clindamycin-resistant CNS (56.3 to 100.0%) has been observed.

CONCLUSION: The use of the second-line antibiotic did not influence the pathogen spectrum or antibiotic resistance. However, an alarmingly high proportion of CNS strains was resistant to clindamycin.
