Changes in microbiological spectrum and antibiotic susceptibility in two-stage exchange for periprosthetic shoulder infections.
Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are a major concern in shoulder arthroplasty, which in some cases require two-stage exchange. While it was shown that low-virulence bacteria are the most isolated pathogens in shoulder PJI, little is known about changes in microbiological spectrum and resistance patterns during two-stage revision.
