Abstract

Background
Bone and joint infections (BJI) comprise a series of disorders, including septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and prosthetic joint infections. Dalbavancin (DALBA) is a lipoglycopeptide with a very long half-life that allows the treatment of serious infections with once weekly or biweekly administration. We evaluated the activity of DALBA against pathogens isolated from BJI.

Methods
A total of 798 organisms were collected from 62 US and 28 European (EU) hospitals in 2016-2020, including 503 S. aureus, 140 β-haemolytic streptococci (BHS), 71 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), 57 Enterococcus spp. (ESP), 22 viridans group streptococci (VGS), and 5 S. pneumoniae. Bacteria were identified by standard algorithms and MALDI-TOF-MS. Susceptibility testing was performed by the reference broth microdilution method in a central laboratory.

Results
S. aureus (63.0%) was the most common pathogen associated with BJI, followed by BHS (17.5%), CoNS (8.9%), and ESP (7.1%). All S. aureus isolates were susceptible (S) to DALBA (MIC50/90, 0.03/0.03 mg/L), linezolid (LNZ; MIC50/90, 1/2 mg/L), teicoplanin (TEI; MIC50/90, ≤0.5/1 mg/L), vancomycin (VAN; MIC50/90, 1/1 mg/L), and daptomycin (DAPTO; MIC50/90, 0.25/0.0.5 mg/L. DALBA was 8- to 16-fold more potent than DAPTO and 32- to 64-fold more potent than LNZ, VAN, and TEI against S. aureus. Oxacillin resistance (OXA-R) rates among S. aureus (MRSA rates) were 35.5% and 15.4% in the US and EU, respectively. Ceftaroline (CPT) was active against 98.6% of S. aureus (MIC50/90, 0.25/1 mg/L) and 94.7% of MRSA (MIC50/90, 1/1 mg/L) isolates. Doxycycline and levofloxacin were active against 97.0% and 76.5% of S. aureus, respectively. Among CoNS, (54.9% OXA-R), DALBA (MIC50/90, 0.03/0.03 mg/L; highest MIC, 0.12 mg/L) was the most potent agent, followed by DAPTO (MIC50/90, 0.25/0.5 mg/L), CPT (MIC50/90, 0.25/0.5 mg/L) and LNZ (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 mg/L). The highest DALBA MIC value among BHS and VGS was 0.12 mg/L (MIC90, 0.03 mg/L for both groups). VAN was active against 82.4% of ESP and DALBA inhibited all VAN-S ESP at ≤0.06 mg/L.

Conclusion
DALBA demonstrated potent in vitro activity against common gram-positive organisms (GP) causing BJI and appears to be a valuable option to treat BJI/osteomyelitis caused by GP.
