  • Title: Antibiotic prophylaxis.
    Author: Faro S.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 1989 Jun; 16(2):279-89. PubMed ID: 2674796.
    Abstract:
    Antibiotic prophylaxis has reduced the incidence of postoperative infection in the patient at risk. Although benefits have resulted from the use of antibiotic in this manner, a disadvantage is the selection of resistant bacteria. Antibiotic prophylaxis will not prevent infection if poor surgical techniques have been employed.
