Short summary
Antibiotics are often used to reduce the rate of recurrent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with prior PJI. This study found that patients treated with such prophylactic antibiotics had an increased rate of infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms in any recurrent PJIs that occurred.
