This is an observational study that does not change routine care. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between the administration of an antibiotherapy able to prevent biofilm formation according to the results of the Antibiofilmogramme test, and the relapse of the infection for patient with orthopaedic device-related infection.
The secondary objectives are: A. Investigate the role of antibiogram-antibiofilmogramme concordance (in terms of S. aureus strains and prescribed antibiotics) in orthopaedic device-related infection management. B. Investigate the capacity of S. aureus isolates to form biofilm in presence/absence of antibiotics. C. Create an S. aureus strain collection for future ancillary studies

An Antibiofilmogramme (BioFilm Control) evaluates the capacity of a series of antibiotics to inhibit the growth of bacterial biofilms for a given bacterial isolate.

Success or treatment failure
Presence or absence of microbiological treatment failure confirmed by S. aureus positive clinical samples. The diagnostic of a S. aureus positive clinical sample indicated a treatment failure. Treatment success corresponded to an absence of clinical or microbiological treatment failure, or treatment failure with positive clinical sample other than S. aureus.
Time frame: From surgical intervention to one year after the end of antimicrobial therapy.
