J Orthop Res 2024; 42:539-546. [PMID: 37794704 PMCID: PMC10959235 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are associated with orthopaedic morbidity and mortality. Mitochondria, the "cell's powerhouses," are thought to play crucial roles in infection response and in increased risk of sepsis mortality. No current research discusses PJI's effect on mitochondrial function and a lack of understanding of immune-infection interactions potentially hinders patient care. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the impact of simulated PJI on local tissue mitochondrial function. Using an established prosthetic implant-associated in vivo model, tissues were harvested from the surgical limb of a methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus implant-associated infection group (n = 6) and compared to a noninfected group (n = 6) at postoperative day (POD) 21. Using mitochondrial coupling assays, oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate were assessed in each group. Electron flow through mitochondrial complexes reflected group activity. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometry measured the oxidizing potential of serum samples from infected versus noninfected groups. On POD21, colony-forming units per gram of tissue showed 5 × 109 in the infected group and 101 in the noninfected group (p < 0.0001). Maximal respiration and oxygen consumption due to adenosine triphosphate synthesis were significantly lower in isolated mitochondria from infected limbs (p = 0.04). Both groups had similar complex I, III, IV, and V activity (p > 0.1). Infected group EPR signal intensity reflecting reactive oxygen species levels was 1.31 ± 0.30 compared to 1.16 ± 0.28 (p = 0.73) in the noninfected group. This study highlights PJI's role in mammalian cell mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative tissue damage, which can help develop interventions to combat PJI.

Abstract
The number of orthopedic implants for bone fixation and joint arthroplasty has been steadily increasing over the past few years. However, implant-associated infection (IAI), a major complication in orthopedic surgery, impacts the quality of life and causes a substantial economic burden on patients and societies. While research and study on IAI have received increasing attention in recent years, the failure rate of IAI has still not decreased significantly. This is related to microbial biofilms and their inherent antibiotic resistance, as well as the various mechanisms by which bacteria evade host immunity, resulting in difficulties in diagnosing and treating IAIs. Hence, a better understanding of the complex interactions between biofilms, implants, and host immunity is necessary to develop new strategies for preventing and controlling these infections. This review first discusses the challenges in diagnosing and treating IAI, followed by an extensive review of the direct effects of orthopedic implants, host immune function, pathogenic bacteria, and biofilms. Finally, several promising preventive or therapeutic alternatives are presented, with the hope of mitigating or eliminating the threat of antibiotic resistance and refractory biofilms in IAI.

Abstract
Biomaterial-associated infections (BAIs) are an increasing problem where antibiotic therapies are often ineffective. The design of novel strategies to prevent or combat infection requires a better understanding of how an implanted foreign body prevents the immune system from eradicating surface-colonizing pathogens. The objective of this review is to chart factors resulting in sub-optimal clearance of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria involved in BAIs. To this end, we first describe three categories of bacterial mechanisms to counter the host immune system around foreign bodies: direct interaction with host cells, modulation of intercellular communication, and evasion of the immune system. These mechanisms take place in a time frame that differentiates sterile foreign body reactions, BAIs, and soft tissue infections. In addition, we identify experimental interventions in S. aureus BAI that may impact infectious mechanisms. Most experimental treatments modulate the host response to infection or alter the course of BAI through implant surface modulation. In conclusion, the first week after implantation and infection is crucial for the establishment of an S. aureus biofilm that resists the local immune reaction and antibiotic treatment. Although established and chronic S. aureus BAI is still treatable and manageable, the focus of interventions should lie on this first period.
