CPP Bone Infection team receives the CORR® ORS Richard A Brand Award for Outstanding Orthopaedic Research
The prompt and reliable diagnosis of bone infection is a critical first step in the successful treatment of an infection. In 2015, a team of researchers within the AO Trauma Research Clinical Priority Program (CPP) Bone Infection received the Richard A Brand Award for Outstanding Orthopaedic Research for the manuscript entitled “A multiplex assay of host immunity against Staphylococcus aureus for osteomyelitis patients” (Nishitani et al, 2015). The award serves to promote, support, develop, and encourage research, educational activities, and knowledge dissemination in surgery, musculoskeletal disease, and related disciplines.
The work involves a serological assay that enables detection of Staphylococcus aureus-specific antibody responses in the blood, promising to improve infection diagnosis in patients.
