Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are important factors in decreasing the success of hip
and knee arthroplasties. It is a necessity to explore the epidemiological data and develop …

Background Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are still a major complication of hip and knee
arthroplasties. Identification of the causative pathogens and knowledge of their antibiotic …

It is important to know the spectrum of the microbial aetiology of prosthetic joint infections
(PJIs) to guide empiric treatment and establish antimicrobial prophylaxis in joint …

Background Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of knee and hip
arthroplasty. Past literature has shown that gram-positive bacteria are commonly …

Background Prophylactic antibiotics significantly reduce prosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates
after hip and knee arthroplasty. However, rising antibiotic resistance has raised concerns …

Infecting microorganism is a strong predictor of treatment success for periprosthetic joint
infection (PJI). The purpose of this study was to compare the infecting pathogens causing …

We aim to describe the microbiological spectrum and relevant antibiotic susceptibility profile
of PJI in our institution over a five-year period (2009–2013) and determine its evolution …

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare but challenging complication of arthroplasty. Herein,
we describe the epidemiology and microbiology of PJI, with a focus on analyzing differences …

Traditionally, periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) due to gram-negative organisms are
considered more difficult to manage; however, little literature exists with regard to outcome of …

Objectives Knowledge of the microbiological aetiology of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is
essential to its management. Contemporary literature from the United States on this topic is …
