Abstract
We retrospectively evaluated antimicrobial therapy in 145 randomly selected patients with osteoarticular infections across 8 hospitals. One hundred nine (75%) were eligible for oral antimicrobial therapy, but only 18 received it: 5 of 39 (13%) in 2018 versus 13 of 70 (19%) in 2019-2020 (P = .44). Oral antimicrobials may be underutilized for osteoarticular infections in routine practice. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America 2022.Entities:
