Overview
Treatment of osteomyelitis typically requires a combination of complete surgical debridement followed by antimicrobial therapy against the commonly recovered microorganisms based on the predisposing factors and local resistance pattern. The optimal duration of therapy for chronic osteomyelitis remains uncertain. The standard recommendation for treating chronic osteomyelitis is 4–6 weeks of parenteral antibiotics. However, oral antibiotics may achieve adequate concentrations in the bone and similar cure rates as compared to parental administration.
Acute Osteomyelitis in Adults – Empiric Therapy
Although osteomyelitis in adults usually has a subacute or chronic course, acute hematogenous seeding may occur in elderly patients, intravenous drug users, or patients with indwelling catheters. The most commonly isolated microorganisms are Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Empiric antibiotics with staphylococcal and streptococcal coverage should be administered based on local resistance data.
Acute Osteomyelitis in Children – Empiric Therapy
Abbreviations: OSSA, oxacillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus; ORSA, Oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; CRSA, Clindamycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [1]
High prevalence of OSSA in community

High prevalence of ORSA with low prevalence of CRSA in community
- Clindamycin ≥ 40 mg/kg/day administered in 4 equal doses
High prevalence of ORSA with high prevalence of CRSA in community
- Vancomycin ≤ 40 mg/kg/day administered in 4 equal doses, adjust dosage to trough of 15–20 mcg/mL
