Hi all, I'm trying to find research on osteomyelitis and outpatient antibiotics in dialysis clinic patients. Any help appreciated, including current guidelines. More interested in research, however.

Agree with NrsKaren - what exactly are you looking for? As to treatment, a lot of factors go into choosing an antibiotic:

1.  Is hardware present?

2. Bacteremia 

3. Endocarditis present

4. Other comorbitities

5. Degree of chronic kidney disease?
