Both animals were clinically asymptomatic and had only minor alterations in urinalysis parameters.

Background: In 2015 a new device for the collection of mediastinal fluid from patients with deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) in the presence of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) became available. The present study was designed to evaluate whether changing sample collection devices increased micro-organism detection in patients undergoing NPWT.

Methods: During 2013-2014, 207 samples were collected and cultured from NPWT patients (n = 23) to demonstrate the presence of DSWI using reticulated polyurethane sponge culture, a swab, and blood culture.
