OBJECTIVES: To assess the performance of the Gram-negative-specific antibiotic temocillin in polymethylmethacrylate bone cement pre-loaded with gentamicin, as a strategy for local antibiotic delivery.
METHODS: Temocillin was added at varying concentrations to commercial gentamicin-loaded bone cement. The elution of the antibiotic from cement samples over a 2 week period was quantified by LC-MS. The eluted temocillin was purified by fast protein liquid chromatography and the MICs for a number of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli were determined. The impact strength of antibiotic-loaded samples was determined using a Charpy-type impact testing apparatus.
RESULTS: LC-MS data showed temocillin eluted to clinically significant concentrations within 1 h in this laboratory system and the eluted temocillin retained antimicrobial activity against all organisms tested. Impact strength analysis showed no significant difference between cement samples with or without temocillin.
CONCLUSIONS: Temocillin can be added to bone cement and retains its antimicrobial activity after elution. The addition of up to 10% temocillin did not affect the impact strength of the cement. The results show that temocillin is a promising candidate for use in antibiotic-loaded bone cement.
