Microbiological Profile of Instrumented Spinal Infections: 10-Year Study at a French Spine Center.

Objective: The objective was to compare the microbiological characteristics and treatment of early and late surgical site infections (SSIs) in instrumented spinal surgery.

Methods: Those patients admitted for SSIs in a single center between January 2010 and December 2022 were included. The subjects were divided into early (eSSIs) and late (lSSIs) SSIs, and demographic, microbiological, treatment, and follow-up data were collected.
