Abstract
In a rabbit model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic joint infection (PJI), prophylaxis with AZD6389*-a combination of three monoclonal antibodies targeting alpha-hemolysin, bicomponent cytotoxins (LukSF/LukED/HlgAB/HlgCB), and clumping factor A-resulted in significant reductions in joint swelling, erythema, intra-articular pus, and bacterial burden in synovial tissues and biofilm-associated prosthetic implants compared with isotype-matched control IgG. Targeting specific staphylococcal virulence factors may thus have potential clinical utility for prevention of PJI.Entities:
