Prosthetic joint infections: Understanding
Prosthetic joint infections: Overview
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI), also referred to as periprosthetic infection, is defined as an infection involving the joint prosthesis and adjacent tissue. The clinical manifestations of PJI vary depending upon the virulence of the organism, the mode of initiation of infection, the host immune response, the soft tissue structure surrounding the joint, and the joint involved.Underlying the pathogenesis of prosthetic joint infection is the simple fact that prostheses are foreign bodies, and they can promote the formation of biofilm by several notable organisms. These organisms form communities in a hydrated polymeric matrix on implant surfaces and necrotic tissues. These bacterial aggregates, with their inherent resistance to antimicrobial agents, are the main culprits for prosthetic joint infection. Biofilm is a thin film of microorganism-embedded glycocalyx (exopolysaccharides), which often coats the surface of the prosthesis and creates a barrier against antimicrobial agents. Also, certain forms of Staphylococcus aureus, a notable player in prosthetic joint infections, may form small colony variants that often grow slowly and are associated with recurrent and difficult-to-treat infections. It takes four weeks for the maturation of biofilms. Sources of infection are: Haematogenous spread with the most commonly encountered foci (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumonia, etc.) for infection along with the most commonly involved organisms, Direct spread through a route communicating the prosthesis and the outer environment e.g., Sinus tract or open periprosthetic fracture or Local spread from a nearby septic focus e.g., osteomyelitis or soft tissue infection.
The diagnosis of PJI is based upon a combination of clinical findings, laboratory results from peripheral blood and synovial fluid, microbiological data, histological evaluation of periprosthetic tissue, intraoperative inspection, and/or radiographic results. A missed prosthetic joint infection or one that is not treated appropriately can result in persistence of infection with deletarious consequences including disability and impaired quality of life. Treatment for PJI involves surgical intervention and medical therapy with an aim to eradicate the infection, restore pain-free function of the infected joint, and minimize PJI-related morbidity and mortality for the patient.

This segment of the Prosthetic joint infections report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.Prosthetic joint infections Emerging Drugs
TNP 2092: TenNor Therapeutics TNP-2092 is a multi-targeting drug conjugate that exerts antibacterial activity by inhibiting three essential targets in bacterial biofilms: RNA polymerase, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. TNP-2092 has demonstrated strong bactericidal activity, a low frequency for the development of resistance, and an excellent safety profile. The drug is in Phase II clinical developmental studies for the treatment of bacterial infections and skin and soft tissue infections. In January 2020, TenNor Therapeutics received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for TNP-2092 to treat prosthetic joint infections.PLG0206: Peptilogics PLG0206 is an intravenous antibiotic derived from the cationic antibiotic peptide (e CAP) platform. PLG0206 works by targeting and disrupting bacterial membranes leading to the death of bacterial cells. PLG0206 has been granted FDA Orphan Drug Designation and Qualified Infectious Disease Product Designation for the treatment of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Currently, the drug is in the Phase I stage of its development for the treatmentofPJI.
