Article Synopsis
- The study explores infection types in patients with deep tissue infections following the surgical removal of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS), focusing on the role of anaerobic bacteria and associated risk factors.
- Analysis of 64 patients revealed that Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent pathogen identified, with a significant number of infections being polymicrobial and involving anaerobic organisms.
- The time between tumor removal and surgical debridement was notably longer for anaerobic infections compared to aerobic ones, suggesting that infections presenting after 53 days are likely to contain anaerobic pathogens, highlighting the need for targeted antibiotic treatment.
