About this trial

Rifampicin, is key in the treatment of staphylococcal PJIs. Rifabutin has a better profile of tolerance than rifampicin regarding the risk of interaction with concomitant medications and liver disorders. The hypothesis is that rifabutin may be an alternative antibiotic option as efficient as rifampicin for the treatment of staphylococcal PJIs, with a better safety profile. The investigator aim to demonstrate the non-inferiority of rifabutin as compared with rifampicin prescribed in combination treatment for PJIs.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Hip or knee Prosthetic joint infection treated by debridement, antibiotic therapy initiation and retention of prothesis (DAIR strategy)

Staphylococcus aureus

Coagulase-negative staphylococci

Microorganisms susceptible to rifampicin and at least one other antibiotic suitable for the treatment of PJI (e.g., penicillin, fluoroquinolone, (doxy/mino)cycline, oxazolidinone, cotrimoxazole, daptomycin, glycopeptide, macrolide, fusidic acid), regardless of sensitivity to methicillin.

Disqualifiers

Known or suspected allergy to rifabutin and/or rifampicin

Diagnosis of endocarditis associated to PJI
