Short summary
This study investigates the ability of a promising new antibiotic, dalbavancin, to be used as an antibiotic incorporated into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement or other carriers (such as calcium sulfate) to treat bone and joint infections. For antibiotics to be used locally, they must retain their efficacy after heat exposure during PMMA polymerization and at human core body temperature. This study demonstrates that dalbavancin is stable at the temperatures required for local use.
