Background: Patients with severe COVID-19 may require intensive care unit (ICU) admission to manage life-threatening complications. However, ICU admission is associated with an increased risk of acquiring nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, particularly carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterale (CRE). Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC), a group of closely related species including Enterobacter cloacae, is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin production or utilization, leading to severe health complications. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent a major complication, often exacerbated by polymicrobial infections involving Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. These pathogens, notorious for their resistance to antibiotics, complicate treatment efforts, especially due to biofilm formation, which enhances bacterial survival and resistance.

Aminoglycosides (AGs) are a class of antibiotics with a broad spectrum of activity. However, their use is limited by safety concerns associated with nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, as well as drug resistance. To address these issues, semi-synthetic approaches for modifying natural AGs have generated new generations of AGs, however, with limited types of modification due to significant challenges in synthesis.

The therapeutic challenges of orthopedic device-related infections and emerging antimicrobial resistance have attracted attention to drug delivery technologies. This study evaluates the preclinical efficacy of local single- and dual-antibiotic therapy against implant-associated osteomyelitis (IAO) using a drug-eluting depot technology, CarboCell, that provides sustained release of high-dose antibiotics and allows for strategic placement in relation to infectious lesions. Clindamycin and gentamicin were formulated in CarboCell compositions.
