A medical predicament has led to extensive drug resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and the complexity of treatment has increased exponentially with the induction of osteomyelitis. In view of the severe situation and the potential of bacterial antivirulence strategies, this study focused on the key virulence factor caseinolytic protease (ClpP) of S. aureus to identify new strategies against MRSA-induced osteomyelitis.

Background: NSAIDs are commonly used as first line therapy in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) but are not effective for all patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical variables associated with NSAID monotherapy response versus requiring second-line medication in a single-center cohort of patients with CNO.

Methods: The charts of children with CNO who attended a CNO clinic at a quaternary care center between 1/1/05 and 7/31/21 were retrospectively reviewed.
