For translational use, virulence profiles of S. aureus may be useful in guiding treatment decisions in the future. Once specific virulence targets are identified, one approach to fracture-related infections with high-virulence strains might be the development of antivirulence agents, particularly to treat or prevent septic dissemination. For fracture-related infections with low virulence, prolonged antimicrobial therapy or exchange of an indwelling implant might be beneficial owing to slower growth and persistence capacity.
