Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of tobramycin-containing bone cement versus systemic cefazolin in treating infections during a one-stage revision surgery in rabbits.
- Results showed both antibiotic treatments significantly reduced bacterial counts compared to controls, but systemic cefazolin demonstrated slightly better infection rates.
- The persistence of bacterial DNA post-treatment suggests it might be due to slow DNA clearance rather than ongoing infection, indicating a potential benefit in combining both types of antibiotics for optimal treatment.
