Low Rate of Infection Control in Enterococcal Periprosthetic Joint Infections

摘要

BackgroundEnterococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare after joint arthroplasty. These cases are usually reported in series of PJIs caused by other pathogens. Because few studies have focused only on enterococcal PJIs, management and control of infection of these cases have not yet been well defined.
