    Staphylococcus epidermidis, often a contaminant, caused bone and soft tissue infections in 69 orthopedic surgery cases. This study highlights its role in post-operative orthopedic infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Analysis of 1824 wound swabs from Tübingen Accident Hospital over 27 months.
    • Investigating the etiological role of Staphylococcus epidermidis in orthopedic surgical site infections.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the incidence and clinical significance of Staphylococcus epidermidis in orthopedic wound infections.
    • To differentiate between contamination and true infection caused by S. epidermidis.

    Summary:

    • Staphylococcus epidermidis was identified in 464 (25.4%) of 1824 wound swabs.
    • In 69 cases, S. epidermidis was the sole causative agent of acute or chronic bone and soft tissue infections post-orthopedic surgery.
    • The pathogen also played a role in sustaining infections during shifts in microbial etiology.
