Comparison of bacterial detection rates within group with or without antibiotic use. (A) Within the prosthesis group, the bacterial detection rates among patients who were administered antibiotics and those who were not were found to be 82.9% and 80%, respectively; this difference was determined to be statistically insignificant. (B) In the control group, the rates of bacterial detection among patients who had received antibiotics compared to those who had not within the three days preceding surgery were 60%and 82%, respectively; this difference was established as statistically significant.
