Cutibacterium avidum resists surgical skin antisepsis in the groin —a potential risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection: a quality control study

ConclusionStandard skin antisepsis was not effective to completely eliminate colonizingC. avidum on the skin in the groin of patients undergoing THA. Colonizing withC. avidum might pose an increased risk for PJI when considering a THA. Novel more effective antisepsis strategies are needed.Trial registration No clinical trial
