Etiology of implant orthopedic infections: a survey on 1027 clinical isolates.
TL;DR: The spectrum of bacteria infecting either internal or external fracture fixation devices appears to differ from that of hip and knee arthroprostheses and more closely resembles that of infections non-associated to medical devices, being characterized by a relatively higher prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Detection of biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis from implant infections. Comparison of a PCR-method that recognizes the presence of ica genes with two classic phenotypic methods.

TL;DR: The better agreement between the CRA plate test with the molecular detection of ica genes indicates the former as a reliable test for the phenotypic characterization of virulence of clinical isolates, however, MtP method remains a precious tool for the in vitro screening of different biomaterials for the adhesive properties using a reference strain.

Cytokines and osteolysis around total hip prostheses.
S. Stea,M. Visentin,Donatella Granchi,Gabriela Ciapetti,M. E. Donati,Alessandra Sudanese,C Zanotti,Aldo Toni +7 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that TNF, and to a lesser extent IL1 and IL6, are positively related to the severity of osteolysis around the prosthesis and therefore a pharmacological treatment can be hypothesized with anti-inflammatory or anti-cytokine drugs in order to limit or to avoid prosthesis loosening.

Effects of metal ions on white blood cells of patients with failed total joint arthroplasties.
Lucia Savarino,Donatella Granchi,Gabriela Ciapetti,S. Stea,M. E. Donati,Gianfranco Zinghi,G. Fontanesi,Roberto Rotini,Lucio Montanaro +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the presence of metal ions, especially chromium, released from prosthesis components could be associated with changes of lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with loosening of joint prostheses.

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance of 15 minor staphylococcal species colonizing orthopedic implants
Carla Renata Arciola,Davide Campoccia,Y. H. An,Lucilla Baldassarri,Valter Pirini,M. E. Donati,Francesco Pegreffi,Lucio Montanaro +7 more
TL;DR: Differences in both the frequencies and the panels of antibiotic resistances observed among the nonSau/nonSep species suggest that horizontal spreading of resistance factors, if acting, was not sufficient per se to level their bio-diversities and confirm the worrisome appearance within the Staphylococcus genus of emerging “new pathogens”, not homogeneous for their virulence and antibiotic resistance prevalence.
