Experimental model of peri-prosthetic infection of the knee caused by Staphylococcus aureus using biomaterials representative of modern TKA

Experimental model of peri-prosthetic infection of the knee caused by Staphylococcus aureus using biomaterials representative of modern TKA

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains the leading cause for revision surgery, with Staphylococcus aureus the bacterium most frequently responsible. We describe a novel rat model of implant-associated S. aureus infection of the knee using orthopaedic materia...
