Brief summary
Bone and joint infections (BJI) is a public health issue in industrialized countries. Implant-associated BJI, are complex hospital-acquired infections and eradication of the pathogen is challenging in such patients. A prolonged antimicrobial therapy is usually required from 6 weeks to 3 months, but some patients are eligible to several years of treatment and most of patients report gastrointestinal troubles, such as nausea and mild to severe diarrhea (but very few developed C. difficile diarrhea). Moreover, the host gut microbiota is probably largely affected in abundance, richness and diversity. Indeed, it is known, that few days of antibiotics are sufficient to induce significant alterations of the gut microbiota, also called dysbiosis. Severe dysbiosis, which is potentially irreversible and associated with a definitive shift in the gut microbiota metabolism and host homeostasis, may lead to and/or promote a large panel of severe diseases such as Clostridium difficile infection, diabetes mellitus, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cirrhosis, neurological disorders and cancer. It may also be associated with BJI recurrence and then impact global health costs. The main objective of this study is to constitute biobanking of stools and perform DNA sequencing of the gut microbiota in patients with acute or sub-acute implant-related Bone and Joint Infection (BJI), caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALPatients treated by antibiotherapy
Biological samples (stool, blood, swabs) will be collected : * Blood sampling (12 ml) at baseline (week 0) at the end of treatment (W6/W24),and 15 days after antibiotherapy stop (optional) (W8/W26), * Feces collection at baseline (week 0) during antibiotic treatment (W2), at the end of treatment (W6/W24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (W8/W26), and W26 after baseline * Swab samples (nasal and rectal) at baseline at week 0 and at the end of treatment (W6/W24),

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change in the gut microbiota after treatment | from baseline to week 26 | stools will be collected to perform DNA sequencing of the gut microbiota in patients with acute or sub-acute implant-related Bone and Joint Infection (BJI), caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of the evolution of frequency of Diarrheic Symptoms | from baseline to week 8 or week 26 | frequency of diarrheic symptoms will be collected at baseline, at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24) and 15 days after antibiotic stop (Week 8 or Week 26) |
| Quantity of rectal acquisition of Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) bacteria under antibiotics measured by classic culture and quantification culture methods | at week 6 or week 24 | classic culture and quantification culture methods determined by microbiology analysis of the feces. Feces will be collected at baseline and at the end of treatment |
| gut dysbiosis measured by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | from baseline to week 26 | Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline. Microbiota sequencing will be done after DNA extraction. Composition of the microbiota will be screened in feces samples using the shotgun sequencing method to establish a total picture of the gut composition and diversity as well as evolution of the microbiome. |
| Assessment of the evolution of intensity of Diarrheic Symptoms | from baseline to week 8 or week 26 | intensity of diarrheic symptoms will be collected at baseline, at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24) and 15 days after antibiotic stop (Week 8 or Week 26) |
| Identification of markers of the gut dysbiosis (inflammatory proteins) measured by Elisa techniques | from baseline to week 26 | ELISA techniques will be used to determine the concentration of 3 specific inflammatory stool epithelium proteins: zonulin, calprotectin and neopterin. Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline. |
| Analysis of impact of Bone and Joint Infection on health-related quality of life in patients by EQ5D5L questionnaires | from baseline to week 26 | EQ-5D questionnaire has 5 dimensions: Mobility, Human Autonomy, Current Activities, Pain / Discomfort, Anxiety / Depression. All dimensions are described by 5 (EQ-5D-5L) problem levels corresponding to patient response choices. Questionnaire will be completed at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline. |
| Analysis of impact of Bone and Joint Infection on health-related quality of life in patients by EQ5D3L questionnaire | from baseline to week 26 | EQ-5D questionnaire has 5 dimensions: Mobility, Human Autonomy, Current Activities, Pain / Discomfort, Anxiety / Depression. All dimensions are described by 3 (EQ-5D-3L) problem levels corresponding to patient response choices. In France, only the EQ-5D-3L has been validated, not yet the EQ-5D-5L which has only been translated. Questionnaire will be completed at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline. |
| severe post-antibiotic dysbiosis (SPAD) measured by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | from baseline to week 26 | Severe Post-Antibiotic Dysbiosis lead to irreversible change in gut microbiota status and systemic consequences for the host. Stools will be collected at baseline, during antibiotic treatment (Week 2), at the end of treatment (Week 6 or Week 24),15 days after antibiotherapy stop (Week 8 or Week 26), and W26 after baseline. |
