Abstract
We investigated the microbiology, management, and orthopedic outcomes of osteoarticular infections in infants age ≤1 year at our institution. Among 87 patients, Staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen (44.8%), followed by group B Streptococcus. Twenty-nine patients (33%), with a median age of 9.2 months, were transitioned to oral antibiotic therapy after ≤14 days of parenteral therapy; orthopedic outcomes were similar to those with prolonged parenteral therapy.
