Background: Implanting hardware into surgical sites increases the rate of infection associated with these sites. Without novel efforts to reduce this rate of infection, we can expect to see an increase in the number of hardware-associated infections as more patients are implanted with these devices. These infections often necessitate the removal of these devices resulting in a significant financial and clinical burden to patients. We developed a prototype antibiotic coating using products that are both low cost and that can be sourced easily. Our study aims to test the effectiveness of this coating against bacteria commonly observed in hospital-associated infections.

在神经调节中预防植入物相关感染：新型保护性植入物涂层的文献和原型综述

背景：将硬件植入手术部位会增加与这些部位相关的感染率。如果没有新的努力来降低这种感染率，随着更多的患者植入这些设备，我们可以期望看到与硬件相关的感染数量将会增加。这些感染通常需要拆除这些设备，从而给患者带来巨大的财务和临床负担。我们使用成本低廉且易于采购的产品开发了原型抗生素涂层。我们的研究旨在测试这种涂层对医院相关感染中常见细菌的有效性。
