Preventing Staphylococcus Infections in High-Risk Patients
Abstract: UP to 30% of those who undergo surgery potentially develop a surgical site infection depending on the procedure performed. Infection increases the risk of further complications, lengthens hospital stays and increases management costs. A significant proportion of surgical site infections are caused by Staphyloccoccus spp. and prior nasal carriage is a risk factor for post surgical infection. Authors: Steven T. Bailey, BA Joseph J.
