26 novembre 2024
Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a common
complication in minor surgeries, significantly impacting patient recovery. In
the context of rising antibiotic resistance, exploring innovative prophylactic
approaches, such as the use of clindamycin, is becoming increasingly crucial.
This study examines the effectiveness of clindamycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, in reducing bacterial load as a prophylactic measure to prevent SSIs.
