Musculoskeletal infection

Research into musculoskeletal infection includes:

  • Mechanisms of recalcitrance in musculoskeletal infection, including biofilm formation and intracellular persistence

  • Molecular methods for improving diagnosis of musculoskeletal infection, especially related to joint replacements

  • Development of novel diagnostic criteria in musculoskeletal infection

  • Novel treatments for musculoskeletal infections, in particular targeting of bacterial biofilms.

  • Patient-reported outcome measures of musculoskeletal infections

  • Development and validation of national musculoskeletal infection registry (UK Bone and Joint Infection Registry)
