Efficacy of Antiseptic Solutions in Treatment of Staphylococcus Aureus Infected Surgical Wounds with Patches of Vascular Graft: An Experimental Study in Rats
Journal: Medicina
Year: 2019

<i>Background and objectives:</i> Treatment of a prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) remains a challenging problem in vascular surgery. The aim of this study was to design a novel rat model for treatment of peripheral vascular prosthesis infection caused by <i>Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)</i> and to determine the efficacy of different antiseptic solutions in suppressing or eradicating infection from the wound and the graft material itself. <i>Materials and methods:</i> A piece of Dac
