gies and materials. In this review we will be concentrating on the architectural protein components of these bacterial accre-tions and how they mediate persistent host-pathogen interac-tions. We will then give a brief discussion of therapeutic targets with the aim of dismantling and/or removing prob-lematic biofilms.
2. INITIAL SURFACE ADHESION
The initial attachment of prokaryotes to abiotic and bio-logical surfaces is by far the most understood process of biofilm development. The bacterial surface is decorated with an arsenal of diverse and often multifunctional macromole-cules. Adhesive structures are projected away from the cell surface with sufficient distance to sample the surrounding environment and recognize appropriate interactions. At the time of this review, a search of the protein data bank (PDB: www.pdb.org) revealed 140 ‘adhesin’ structures from bacte-ria, many of which are unique proteins. In this section a number of different fibres from a range of bacteria will be discussed, although the focus will be on those structures that contribute to a well-defined understanding of surface at-tachment. For example, whilst type IV pili (T4P) are very important factors leading to surface attachment in many bac-teria, no receptor complexes are available and so they will not be discussed here. In addition, although the chaperone-usher (CU) assembled type I and P pili are important lectins from Escherichia coli, a wealth of both structural and bio-chemical information has already been amassed and a num-ber of excellent articles and reviews are already available [18-22], so again these will not be described.
2.1. MSCRAMMs
Staphylococcus aureus is a regular commensal of the skin and anterior nares of animals and humans [23]. Whilst harmless in these environments, S. aureus may become a dangerous pathogen if it crosses the epithelial barrier where it can infect almost any organ and cause abscesses, pneumo-nia, endocarditis, sepsis and infections associated with medi-cal implants [24]. A number of surface components of S. aureus have been implicated in biofilm formation. The exopolysaccharide biofilm matrix is composed of a polymer of poly-N-acetyl- -(1-6)-glucosamine, termed polysaccha-ride intercellular adhesin (PIA) or poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) and mediates intercellular adhesion events [25,26].
S. aureus biofilms can also form independently of PIA and the composition of this proteinaceous matrix includes SasG [27], Protein A (Spa) [28,29], fibronectin binding proteins (FnBPs) [30,31] and biofilm associated protein (Bap) [32]. SasG can bind desquamated nasal epithelial cells [31] and promotes inter-bacterial aggregation [33]. Spa binds immu-noglobulin’s which enables S. aureus to evade in-nate/adaptive immune responses [34] and can promote mul-ticellular adherence [28]. FnBPs have been shown to mediate intercellular biofilm interactions [30] [31], recognize fi-bronectin and fibrinogen [35,36] and can also promote the invasion of epithelial cells [37]. Bap is involved in the initial attachment to inert surfaces/interbacterial interactions [32] and also prevents cellular internalization of S. aureus
through binding the GP96 host receptor, which interferes with the FnBP mediated invasion pathway [38].
Fig. (1). Schematic representation of the biofilm life cycle. (1) Free swimming bacteria (2) adhere to a surface using cell surface displayed
adhesin molecules. (3) Bacteria begin to divide and the expression of further macromolecules allows them to stick together in small micro-colonies. (4) As these colonies grow they begin to secrete a complex mixture of carbohydrates, protein and lipids that encapsulates the bacte-ria. This biofilm matrix (fuzzy outline) provides protection and stability for the maturing biofilm. (5) When the biofilm reaches maturity, a number of factors will have developed a heterogeneous arrangement of cells and molecules within the biofilm, and given rise to solvent filled cavities and channels. This can lead to dispersal of cells from the cellular mass. (6) Upon signal from the environment (waste build up or demand for nutrients, for example), molecules are released that cause cell lysis and matrix dissemination. Many planktonic cells are now released and can find a new habitat.

Concentración bactericida dentro del biofilm
La MIC define los niveles de ATB a los que el microorganismo es susceptible en su estado planctónico, no se puede usar para guiar el tratamiento de bacterias en biofilm.
La MBEC (concentración bactericida dentro del biofilm) es una medida de la susceptibilidad a los ATB in vitro de los organismos productores de biopelículas.

non-slime-producing strains (p<0.0001). In contrast, for the same antimicrobials the CV biofilm biomass scores showed contradictory results, where biofilm biomass score 1 showed higher MBEC/MIC ratios than biomass score 2 and 3 (p<0.05).
The MBECs were high and uniform for all enterococcal strains showing the highest MBEC/MIC ratios compared to staphylococci, which showed more interstrain variability depending on the antimicrobial agent. The MBEC/MIC ratios for E. faecalis ranged from 64–2,048 (median 512) for VAN, CIP, LZD, AMP, and RIF (Table IV). The range of the MBEC/ MIC ratios for the ten antibiotics in S. aureus was 1–2048 (median 9) and for the S. epidermidis strains was 0.0038–64 (median 1). Furthermore, the S. aureus strain that caused a
relapse in a patient exerted a 459-fold increase in MBEC versus a 63-fold MBEC by the nonrelapse causing staphylo-cocci. Nineteen percent of all the strains were susceptible to VAN, CIP, LZD, and RIF according to MIC whereas 77% were resistant according to MBEC evaluation (Figure 4).
DISCUSSION
This study represents the first report on the biofilm proper-ties of bacteria causing deep infections associated with bone-anchored femoral amputation prostheses. In the present study, the biofilm-forming ability of bacterial isolates from orthopaedic implant-associated osteomyelitis was determined with both phenotypic and genotypic methods. A major obser-vation was that the majority of the clinical strains (11 out of 13) formed biofilm in vitro and most of them were classified as moderate or strong biofilm producers.
In agreement with observations on prosthetic joint infec-tions,8 biofilm-producing S. aureus and S. epidermidis strains
from infected percutaneous osseointegrated amputation pros-theses showed significantly higher MBEC/MIC ratios than the non-biofilm-producing strains. Since also the slime-producing strains had higher MBEC/MIC ratios compared with the non-slime-producing ones, the ability to produce slime may have contributed to the observed higher tolerance to antimicro-bials. However, biofilm tolerance to antimicrobials is
multifac-torial and not only caused by slime.38,39 Restricted
antimicrobial diffusion, slow growing persister cells, and altered physiological activity of the bacteria constitute addi-tional alternative mechanism for the observed findings.38,40

The ratios were calculated dividing the MBEC value by the MIC value for each strain and antimicrobial agent. The ratios show the increased/equal resistance factor of the biofilm susceptibility versus its equivalent planktonic susceptibility (approximately equal final amount of CFU in the planktonic culture as in the biofilm).

ries. Confusion regarding this phenomenon precludes establish-ing its clinical significance and implementestablish-ing proper therapeutic interventions and guidelines. Therefore, in this review, we criti-cally assess the published literature on heteroresistance, expose contradictions and variations in its definition, and recommend an operational definition and uniform criteria for assessment of het-eroresistant bacteria.
MULTIPLE DEFINITIONS OF HETERORESISTANCE
Heteroresistance means that there are population-wide variable responses to antibiotics (6). Several reports, including the earliest studies describing the phenomenon, applied this definition with-out specifying a particular antibiotic concentration range (3, 4, 7,
8). In contrast, concentration ranges were indicated for
heterore-sistance in Acinetobacter baumannii, where subpopulations grew
in 3 to 10!g/ml colistin while the culture’s MIC ranged from 0.25 to 2!g/ml (9). Others described heteroresistance when a subset of the microbial population was resistant to an antibiotic and the rest of the population was susceptible based on the concentration breakpoints of traditional in vitro susceptibility testing (10). This definition excludes cases where the bacterial culture comprises subpopulations with various levels of resistance but the entire population is either sensitive (Fig. 1D) or resistant (Fig. 1F) to the antibiotic.
Other definitions of heteroresistance contributed to miscon-ceptions about the nature of the phenomenon. Some of them were based on single cutoff concentrations, which did not describe the variation in resistance among members of a bacterial population.
For example, heteroresistance was defined by growth of A.
bau-mannii colonies on plates containing 8 !g/ml of colistin, with
confirmation of a MIC of 8!g/ml by a subsequent broth
microdi-lution method (11). Similarly, heterogeneously resistant
staphy-lococci were defined as any culture containing subpopulations at a frequency of 1 in 106 CFU/ml or higher, with a MIC of "4 !g/ml for vancomycin or!16!g/ml for teicoplanin (12), or simply with a MIC above those specified in the CLSI guidelines for breakpoints
of vancomycin or teicoplanin (13). A similar definition was
ad-opted by setting a cutoff diameter of 10 mm in disc diffusion assays, below which the strain was considered heteroresistant
rather than merely resistant (14). Another approach defined
het-eroresistance as a high MIC of Enterococcus faecium against
van-comycin ("256 !g/ml) by broth dilution but a low MIC (1.8
!g/ml) by Etest (15).
Other forms of heterogeneous bacterial behavior against antibiot-ics were reported as heteroresistance. CertainStaphylococcus aureus
strains displayed methicillin resistance at high antibiotic concen-trations (64 to 512!g/ml) and susceptibility at low concentrations
(2 to 16 !g/ml) (16). This phenomenon, termed “Eagle-type”
resistance, was similar to the Eagle killing by penicillin described earlier, in which the bactericidal action of penicillin paradoxically decreased at high antibiotic concentrations (17). Similar patterns of bimodal growth in population analysis profiles were observed forA. baumannii with cefepime, where growth inhibition after an initial peak of growth at a low antibiotic concentration was
fol-lowed by another peak of growth at a higher concentration (18).
Certain S. aureus strains displayed “thermosensitive”
heteroresis-tance, where cultures growing at high methicillin concentrations at 30°C lost this ability within 30 min after shifting of the growth
temperature to 37°C (19). A temperature shift in the reverse
di-rection caused an equally rapid expression of methicillin resis-tance (19).
Adding to the confusion, the term “heteroresistance” has been applied to describe infections with bacterial strains having differ-ent levels of resistance to an antibiotic. Amoxicillin-resistant and -susceptibleHelicobacter pyloriisolates (MICs of 2!g/ml and 0.06
!g/ml, respectively) were observed in different biopsy specimens
from one patient, displaying what was described as “interniche” heteroresistance (20). More recently, pairs of H. pylori isolates obtained from the same patients had different levels of resistance to levofloxacin, metronidazole, and (in only one case) clarithro-mycin; the antibiotic-resistant strains were mostly derived from a preexisting sensitive strain rather than from infection with different strains of H. pylori having different levels of anti-biotic resistance (21). Similarly, heteroresistance in Mycobacte-rium tuberculosis was defined as coexistence of antituberculosis drug-susceptible and -resistant bacteria in the same patient (22,
23). More recently, heteroresistance in M. tuberculosis was
rede-fined as coexistence of populations with different mutations in a
drug resistance locus within a sample of organisms (24).
There-fore, heteroresistance does not have a uniformly consistent defi-nition, making retrospective comparisons to assess its true clinical significance impossible.
MEASURING HETERORESISTANCE Population Analysis Profiling
The population analysis profiling (PAP) method is considered the gold standard for determining heteroresistance. In this method, the bacterial population is subjected to a gradient of antibiotic concentrations (either on plates or in liquid medium), and bacte-rial growth at each of these concentrations is quantified. PAP is typically performed using the format of standard MIC
determina-FIG 1 Heteroresistant versus homogeneous responses to antibiotics. Dotted lines represent breakpoints for resistance. Homogeneous bacterial cultures can be either susceptible (A), of intermediate susceptibility (B), or resistant (C) to an antibiotic according to traditional in vitro susceptibility testing. Heterore-sistant bacteria may be any of the following. (D) Bacteria are completely sus-ceptible to an antibiotic, whereby the different subpopulations respond to antibiotic concentrations extending below the breakpoints. This form is less likely to be detected and is probably the least clinically important (unless the least responsive subpopulations develop resistance to the antibiotic). (E) Bac-teria exhibit the more classical form of heteroresistance, in which the majority of the bacterial population is susceptible to an antibiotic, with a highly resistant minority. Antibiotic treatment guided by the traditional susceptibility testing breakpoints would select for the resistant subpopulation, leading to therapeu-tic failure. (F) The entire bacterial population, including the least resistant subpopulations, is resistant to the antibiotic. Chemical communication of antibiotic resistance from the more resistant members of the population protecting less resistant bacteria is the major concern of such bacterial populations.

Comportamiento de ATB en el biofilm
Ciprofloxacina: difunde rápidamente dentro de la biopelícula y la CIMB es
similar a las formas plantónicas.
Betalactámicos: CIM >1000 veces que las formas planctónicas, frente a
la exposición P aeruginosa aumenta la producción de AmpC, para contrarrestar el efecto se aumenta la dosis del B-lactámico.
AMG: su carga positiva favorece la unión a la matriz glicoproteica, dejando
• Fosfomicina: actividad bacteriostática, tiempo dependiente,
influenciada por el efecto inóculo. La heteroresistencia es frecuente, no usar en monoterapia.
• Colistin: actividad bactericida independiente de la formación y consumo de radicales hidroxilo, mayor destrucción de bacterias ubicadas dentro del biofilm en las capas más profundas.
• Rifampicina: acción intracelular, afecta poblaciones estacionarias, alta concentración intracelular.
• Azitromicina: elevadas concentraciones dentro del biofilm e intracelular, inmunomodulador.
Tratamiento de infecciones por P. aeruginosa
• Bajar la carga bacteriana y de biopelícula.
• Combinado (fase estacionaria y planctónica).
• Infusión prolongada o altas dosis intermitentes,
En cepas MDR se ha demostrado sinergia de:
1. β-lactámico en casos resistentes (MIC 2-4 veces mayores) asociado a otro ATB.
2. Ciprofloxacina (resistente) protege de la aparición de mutantes resistentes al MEM.
3. Imipenem + rifampicina (R a carbapenémicos mediado por porinas).

En Infecciones Protésicas Agudas con implante estable y sensiblidad a ciprofloxacina se recomienda desbridamiento y retención del implante (éxito 79% vs 41% cuando es resistente).
En IPT crónicas retirar el implante evitar la recurrencia.
Duración del tratamiento no definido, se recomienda prolongado y en casos en los que no puede retirarse el implante terapia supresiva.

Resultados
Factores independientes de buen pronóstico (análisis multivariado):
1. tratamiento quirúrgico óptimo p: 0,045
2. antibiótico parenteral 3 semanas p:0,003
3. ciprofloxacina por 3 meses p: 0,015
Fallo terapéutico: 25,6%
- 7,5% fue por persistencia de P aeruginosa y
- 17,8% superinfección.
Conclusión: la infección peri-protésica por P. aeruginosa es una de las más
difíciles de tratar, y la estrategia quirúrgica tiene un fuerte impacto en el pronóstico. Es efectivo un tratamiento antibiótico intravenoso inicial durante al menos 3
semanas, seguido de ciprofloxacina oral por una duración total de 3 meses.

Objectives:In the era of emergence of MDRPseudomonas aeruginosa, osteoarticular infections (OIs) add more difficulties to its treatment. The role ofb-lactams (BLs) is questioned and older drugs need to be reconsidered. The objective of this study was to describe our experience in the management of OIs caused by MDRP. aeruginosa
and evaluate different therapeutic options.
Methods:This was a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort (2004–13) of patients with OI caused by MDRP. aeruginosa. We created two groups: (i) Group A (more difficult to treat), prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and osteoarthritis (OA) managed with device retention; and (ii) Group B (less difficult to treat), OA managed without device retention. Antibiotic treatment was administered according to clinician criteria: monotherapy/combined therapy; and BL used by intermittent bolus (IB)/continuous infusion.
Results:Of 34 patients, 15 (44.1%) had PJI and 19 (55.9%) had OA (8 related to an orthopaedic device). Twenty-three cases (68%) were caused by XDRP. aeruginosa. The initial management included removal of an orthopaedic device in 14 cases, together with antibiotic [alone, 19 (55.9%; 4 colistin, 14 BL-IB and 1 BL continuous infusion); and in combination, 15 (44.1%; 5 BL-IB and 10 BL continuous infusion)]. The overall cure rate was 50% (39% and 63% in Groups A and B, respectively), ranging from 31.6% with monotherapy to 73.3% with combined therapy (P¼0.016), with special interest within Group A (cure rate with combined therapy 71.4%,P¼0.049). After rescue therapy, which included removal of remaining devices, the cure rate reached 85.3%.
Conclusions:We suggest that the BL/colistin combination is an optimized therapy for OI caused by MDR
P. aeruginosa, together with an appropriate surgical treatment.
Introduction
Gram-positive bacteria are the most frequent infective agents in osteoarticular infection (OI), whereas Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) may be responsible of 10%–23% of cases.1–3In particular
settings, such as prosthetic joint infections (PJIs),4–7Pseudomonas
aeruginosamay cause up to 20% of these GNB infections.7While current antibiotic recommendations for the treatment of OIs caused by GNB areb-lactams and ciprofloxacin,8,9there is no
stand-ard of treatment for MDR GNB infection.
The progressive emergence of MDR GNB represents a new challenge in the treatment of nosocomial infection. In the field of PJI, a recent study showed that the percentage of MDR GNB almost tripled from 3.3% in 2003 to 9.4% in 2012.10Among these pathogens,P. aeruginosais particularly problematic, with few therapeutic options.11Some strains are resistant or not fully
susceptible tob-lactams, and the only active antimicrobials are polymyxins and aminoglycosides.12
Moreover, the pathology of OIs, especially when an ortho-paedic device is present, adds further complexity to the clinical and surgical management of these infections.3,13–16
It is well known that bacteria involved in OIs can live in a sta-tionary phase or non-growing condition, either intracellularly or within biofilms around the orthopaedic device.17Inside the com-plex glycoproteic matrix of the biofilm, the low concentration of oxygen and nutrients leads to heterogeneous phenotypic changes in the bacteria. In turn, this results in different antimicro-bial tolerances to different families of antibiotics.17,18Indeed, the
use ofb-lactams to treat PJIs caused by quinolone-resistant GNB was associated with a poor cure rate,7since the role of antibiotics
was even more complicated by the reduced susceptibility or resistance tob-lactams.

Statistical analysis
Continuous variables were expressed as medians with the IQR and were compared using the Mann –WhitneyU-test. Categorical variables were expressed as number (percentage) and were compared using thex2test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. Statistical significance was defined as a two-tailedPvalue,0.05. Predictor parameters of failure were analysed by logistic regression. In addition, Kaplan–Meier curves and the log-rank test were used to compare the cumulative likelihood of failure between patients treated with combined therapy or monotherapy. Data were ana-lysed using IBM SPSS for Windows, Version 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).
Results
We included 34 patients: 15 (44%) with PJI, 11 (32%) with OA not related to an orthopaedic device and 8 (24%) with OA related to an orthopaedic device. The median age was 68.7 years (IQR 59.5 – 78) and 59% were men, with.70% having at least one comorbidity. Polymicrobial infection was initially present in 16 (47%) patients and 20 (59%) had a super-infection caused by MDRP. aeruginosa(Table1).
Of the 34 patients, 31 (92%) initially underwent surgery. Three patients with OA (without device) were managed conservatively with antibiotics alone: two had post-surgical pubic symphysis
osteomyelitis following a prostatic resection, and one had sacroi-liitis because of a sacral pressure sore. Among the 23 patients with OI related to an orthopaedic device (8 OA plus 15 PJI), surgery

Monotherapy was used in 19 (56%) patients, mainly with inter-mittent boluses ofb-lactams (14/19), but 4 patients received colistin alone. When the clinician used combination therapy (15, 44%), it was mostly with continuous infusion of ab-lactam plus colistin (10/15). Overall, 30 patients receivedb-lactams: in 12 patients,P. aeruginosastrains were susceptible (6 to anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins, 2 to piperacillin/tazobactam and 4 to carbapenems), but the other 18 were not susceptible: 2 inter-mediate (1 to aztreonam and 1 to carbapenem) and 16 resistant (6 to anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins, 6 to piperacillin/tazobac-tam, 1 to aztreonam and 3 to carbapenems). The median dose of colistin was 5 MIU/day (IQR 2.8–6), for a median of 40.5 days (IQR 26–43). Amikacin was administered only in two patients, where it was combined with intermittent boluses ofb-lactams (Table2).
After initial therapy, the cure rate reached 50%. Among the remaining patients, 15 (44%) had persistent infection caused by MDRP. aeruginosaand 2 died during the initial treatment. The fac-tors predicting treatment failure were therefore evaluated, focus-ing on the host, the type of infection and the therapeutic plan. No significant difference was seen in the prognosis when comparing polymicrobial and monomicrobial infections or the presence of
P. aeruginosasuper-infection. XDRP. aeruginosawas present in 23 patients and MDRP. aeruginosain 11 patients, with no differ-ences in management (surgical or antibiotic regimen) between the groups (data not shown). Of the 11 patients with OI caused by MDRP. aeruginosa, just three (27%) were cured after the first therapeutic plan; but the cure rate more than doubled when the pathogen was an XDRP. aeruginosastrain (cure rate 14/23, 61%,
P¼0.067) (Table3).
Combination therapy (mainly with colistin plusb-lactams) was significantly more effective than monotherapy (with either
b-lactams or colistin), with cure rates of 11/15 (73%) and 6/19 (32%), respectively (P¼0.016) (Table3). Figure1illustrates the likelihood of failure according to the antibiotic treatment and follow-up period (log-rank¼0.079). In our case series, colistin was well tolerated, and although 10 patients presented renal impairment during the treatment, creatinine was normalized after reducing the dose. The use ofb-lactams in continuous infu-sion was safe and seemed to offer more benefits thanb-lactams in an intermittent bolus (cure rates of 64% and 42%, respectively,
P¼0.256) (Table3).
The failure rate was also analysed between the two groups by the difficulty of treatment. Patients in Group A had a higher failure rate (61.1%) compared with patients in Group B (37.5%). Focusing on those patients managed with implant retention (n¼9), three patients were cured after initial debridement (3/9, 33%), but six required further surgery for device removal (Table4). Combined anti-biotic treatment (mainly with colistin plusb-lactams) also appeared to be associated with better outcomes than monotherapy in patients with infections considered more difficult to treat (Group A), despite the added management difficulties, with cure rates of 5/7 (71%) and 2/11 (18%), respectively (P¼0.049) (Figure2).
Details of the treatment received by the 17 (50%) patients in whom initial therapy was not curative are summarized in Table5. Two patients died (Table5, cases 16 and 17). Among the patients who were not cured by initial therapy, one had a PJI that was retained with a persistent infection [Table5, case 7, managed conservatively with careful follow-up of a persistent fis-tula, but without antibiotics (no oral option was possible)]. Another 14 patients required second-line treatment (7 PJIs and 0.0

Es necesario el desbridamiento quirúrgico en todos los casos.
1º fase parenteral: 2 fármacos efectivos, betalactámicos +
aminoglucósidos o fosfomicina o colistin por 3 semanas o más.
Evitar el uso inicial de las quinolonas en caso de ser sensibles.
2º fase vía oral: quinolonas en casos sensibles, rifampicina opcional.
En casos resistentes considerar quinolonas + rifampicina. El objetivo sería tratar subpoblaciones tolerantes que persisten luego de erradicar las subpoblaciones resistentes que fueron tratadas con el plan
Conclusiones
• Las infecciones asociadas a implantes en hueso son difíciles de tratar.
• Incidencia está aumentando.
• El aumento de microorganismos MDR suma complejidad al tratamiento.
• Es necesario capacitarnos en su manejo, y formar equipos multidisciplinarios de trabajo.
• Debemos diseñar una pauta local de tratamiento ajustada a nuestra disponibilidad de moléculas.
