Description
Fei Liu and co-authors review drug resistance in 2025 among bone and joint infections caused by a common germ. They gathered 196 patients and tested how well standard drugs still worked on each germ sample. Resistance varied widely by drug, though two strong drugs still worked on every sample.
About four in ten samples resisted many drugs at once. Most patients healed well, and healing rates were much the same whether the drugs used had been lab-tested or not. Among patients started on untested drugs, about one in five later switched to a tested drug. The authors stress that resistance is common and that testing should guide care.
