Abstract:Introduction: Orthopaedic Implant associated infection is the major problem which leads to implant failure and economic burden to the patient. Implant-associated infections are due to the formation of biofilm at the implantation site leading to multidrug resistant organism. Aim: This study was done to evaluate the causative organisms, their antibiotic sensitivity pattern and their ability to form biofilm over the Implants used in Orthopaedic surgeries. Material and methods: This study was carried out in the de… Show more
