Only a decade ago, osteomyelitis in the horse often resulted in exorbitant costs and, sadly, the demise of the patient after an extended treatment period. New reports surface monthly about antimicrobial compatibility with these delivery systems and use of proper doses, which requires clinicians to search the current literature on a regular basis.

A very common source of sudden onset lameness in horses is the hoof abscess. Almost every horse owner will experience this situation at one time or another; their horse is standing, pointing or resting a leg, unwilling to place much weight on it.

2019年8月1日 · The goal of this article is to provide a general and species-specific review of bacterial osteomyelitis in a selection of domestic veterinary species, including cats, dogs, horses, cattle and camelids, with a focus on classification, clinical presentation, aetiologic agents, and common therapeutic interventions reported in the literature.

Much has been learned in the past decade about osteomyelitis. The inhibitory mechanisms of the "biofilm slime" layer that is formed by bacterial extracapsular exopolysaccharides and binds to bone, joints, and implants are now better understood than in the past.

2019年3月8日 · Osteomyelitis, a common disease in horses of all ages, may be treated successfully if detected in an early stage. Criteria for diagnosing equine osteomyelitis include clinical signs, radiographic changes, and positive microbial cultures.

The research paper provides an overview of the recent advancements in the understanding and treatment of osteomyelitis, a bone infection, in horses. This includes insights into the survival strategies of infection-causing bacteria, common bacteria responsible for osteomyelitis, traditional and current treatment methods, and future possibilities ...

Osteomyelitis in horses is primarily caused by bacterial infections. The most common bacteria associated with this condition include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus equi, and Actinobacillus equuli.

2023年1月30日 · Orthopaedic infections, including synovial sepsis, osteomyelitis and infection of orthopaedic implants are common in equine medicine. Infections can be caused by haematogenous spread of pathogens, trauma or penetrating injuries, extension of local infections and iatrogenic causes such as surgery and synovial injections.

2011年1月1日 · Horses are at a high risk of sustaining orthopaedic trauma resulting in osteomyelitis. Horses frequently sustain traumatic injuries as a result of wounds from external objects, for instance collision with fencing material.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates from 233 horses with musculoskeletal infection during 1979–1989
