An increasing demand for lower limb arthroplasty will lead to a proportionate increase in the need for revision surgery. A notable proportion of revision surgery is secondary to periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). Diagnosing and eradicating PJI can form a very difficult challenge. An important cause of PJI is the formation of a bacterial biofilm on the implant surface. Our review article seeks to describe biofilms; their definitions and formation, common causative bacteria, prophylactic and therapeutic antibiotic therapy.
对下肢关节置换术需求的不断增加将导致翻修手术需求相应增加。相当一部分翻修手术继发于假体周围关节感染(PJI)。诊断和根除PJI可能是一项极具挑战性的任务。PJI的一个重要原因是在植入物表面形成细菌生物膜。我们的综述文章旨在描述生物膜;它们的定义、形成、常见致病菌、预防性和治疗性抗生素治疗。
