PATHOGENESIS OF PROSTHESIS-RELATED INFECTION [PDF]

Biomedical Papers, 2003
In spite of its incidence decreasing to 1% nowadays, prosthesis-related infection remains a research, diagnostic, therapeutic and cost-related problem. It can be defined as a presence of bacteria in the artificial joint space, which is significantly associated with evident laboratory and/or tissue markers, and clinical signs of running infection.

Transcriptomic analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae periprosthetic joint infection

MicrobiologyOpen, 2021
Although Streptococcus agalactiae periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is not as prevalent as staphylococcal PJI, invasive S. agalactiae infection is not uncommon. Here, RNA‐seq was used to perform transcriptomic analysis of S. agalactiae PJI using fluid

First Identification of a Patient with Prosthesis-Related Infection Caused by an MCR-1.1-Producing ST131 Escherichia coli After Rhinoplasty

Infection and Drug Resistance, 2021
The most common procedure of rhinoplasty is the implantation of a synthetic prosthesis. However, the complications, especially postoperative infection, could lead the suboptimal aesthetic outcome, economic losses and health threats. There is currently little literature providing an incidence of rhinoplasty infection and microbiological and ...
