Abstract

Antibiotic prophylaxis has reduced the incidence of postoperative infection in the patient at risk. Although benefits have resulted from the use of antibiotic in this manner, a disadvantage is the selection of resistant bacteria. Antibiotic prophylaxis will not prevent infection if poor surgical techniques have been employed.
