Antibiotic Prophylaxis and Surgical Site Infections in Septoplasty
ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infection is one of the most common complications of septoplasty. The use of antibiotic prophylaxis has been debated for years. Since the practice at our centre has shifted towards a more frequent use of prophylactic antibiotics in septoplasties, our aim was to review its use and effect on the postoperative infection ...

A retrospective analysis of bacterial pathogens in wounds in an equine hospital (2017–2022)
Summary Background Bacterial infections are a major cause of morbidity in horses, particularly in soft tissue wounds (STW) and surgical site infections (SSI). Rising antimicrobial resistance poses challenges for timely treatment. Knowledge of common pathogens and their resistance patterns is therefore essential.
