Abstract
Increases in the MICs were observed for vancomycin, the antibiotic widely used in cement spacers, in about one-third of the revisions. Despite the small sample size, the data from this preliminary study raise concern about the potential for emergence of resistant organisms between the stages of a 2-stage revision.
