Antimicrobial Prophylaxis

Year: 2021

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: This paper discusses when antimicrobial prophylaxis should be initiated and when it is not recommended as an effective treatment or means of prophylaxis. Various surgical procedures take complete advantage of the effectiveness of such prophylaxis against the emergence of infection and complications; however, the possibility of superinfection is always present and should not be overlooked by the attending physician.
