Treatment failure and associated risk factors for periprosthetic-joint infections caused by streptococci versus other etiologies: a single-center retrospective cohort study
The treatment failure rate of streptococcal PJIs was similar to that for PJIs caused by other pathogens. However, Streptococcus dysgalactiae and DAIR were factors associated with failure among patients with a streptococcal PJI. Our results suggest that streptococcal PJIs, especially Streptococcus dysgalactiae PJIs, should be surgically treated more aggressively with an implant exchange.
