Objective: The long-term impact of treatment strategies proposed by the IDSA guidelines for patients presenting with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is not well-known.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective (2000-2010) cohort study including patients presenting with MSSA hip or knee PJI. A univariate Cox analysis was performed to determine if the non-compliance with IDSA surgical guidelines was a risk factor for treatment failure.
Results: Eighty-nine patients with a mean follow-up of 2.8 years were included. Non-compliance with IDSA surgical guidelines was associated with treatment failure (hazard ratio 2.157; 95% CI [1.022-4.7]). The American Society of Anesthesiologists score, inadequate antimicrobial therapy, and a rifampicin-based regimen did not significantly influence patient outcome.
Conclusion: Based on the IDSA guidelines, if a patient presenting with MSSA PJI is not eligible for implant retention, complete implant removal is needed to limit treatment failure.

Background: Infectious Diseases Society of America/Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (IDSA/SHEA) guidelines describe recommended therapy for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).
Objective: To describe CDI treatment and, among those with severe CDI, determine predictors of adherence to the 2010 IDSA/SHEA treatment guidelines.
Design: We analyzed 2013-2015 CDI treatment data collected through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Emerging Infections Program.

Numerous guidelines are available to guide empirical antimicrobial therapy (EAT) in acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) patients. We analysed prognosis factors and compliance to the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines in ABM patients requiring stay in an intensive care unit (ICU). A 10-year retrospective study, using prospectively collected data, in 82 ABM patients admitted to a 16-bed university-affiliated French ICU was undertaken.
