Real-Life Cefiderocol Use in Bone and Joint Infection: A French National Cohort
Cefiderocol (CFD) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin developed for the treatment of infections involving multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) infections (1–3). For bone and joint infections (BJIs), the use of CFD is currently neither part of its market authorization nor recommended, and has not yet been assessed by large-scale studies. Objectives: To fill the scarcity of data regarding the use of CFD in BJIs, we aimed to describe patients’ and infection characteristics along with the outcomes of the infection.
