No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lower limb joint replacement surgery is one of the most prevalent globally. In our center, more than 400 lower limb arthroplasties (LLA) are performed annually. Developing a Surgical Site Infection (SSI) after (LLA) increases morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Staphylococcus aureus is the main causative agent of SSI and especially in LLA. One third of the population is a nasal carrier of Staphylococcus aureus, being a risk factor for patients who have to undergo knee replacement or hip replacement. Several studies have confirmed that the detection of S. aureus carriers and their subsequent decolonization reduces SSI rates
