Culture-negative infections accounted for 11.1%, while Gram-positive bacteria comprised 64.2% of identified pathogens.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci were most frequently detected, showing significant oxacillin and rifampicin resistance rates of 52.9% and 28.7%, respectively.
No significant difference in revision-free implant survival was found between patients with difficult-to-treat pathogens and those without such infections.
Patient-specific factors like comorbidities and implant type may influence infection outcomes, highlighting the importance of tailored empirical therapy.
