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 …

Objectives The high microbiologic diversity encountered in prosthetic joint infection (PJI)
makes the choice of empirical antimicrobial therapies challenging, especially in cases of …

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 …

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

Background: PJIs following total hip and knee arthroplasty represent severe complications
with broad implications, and with significant disability, morbidity, and mortality. To be able to …

We sought to analyze trends of the causative pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility
patterns in patients with periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the hip and knee to get better …

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 …

Introduction. Historically, a majority of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) grew Gram-positive
bacteria. While previous studies stratified PJI risk with specific organisms by patient …
