Abstract
In the present study, the most commonly cultured organism was S aureus (53%), a finding consistent with current literature. The prevalence of P acnes colonization was noted in 33% of cases. Although the relevance of P acnes and its contribution to PJI requires further investigation, it is associated with PJI and biofilm formation. Based on this study, consideration could be given to the use of vancomycin and first-generation cephalosporins as perioperative antibiotic coverage.
