Temporal Changes in Microbial Etiology and Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Osteoarticular Infections: An 11-Year Retrospective Analysis
This retrospective longitudinal study identified <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> as the predominant pathogens in OAIs, coupled with a significant rise in antimicrobial resistance. These findings highlight the critical need to adapt prophylactic and empirical treatment guidelines to contemporary resistance trends to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
