Decreased neutrophil response in a model of chronic intraperitoneal Klebsiella infection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Selection of a pre-operative hand antisepsis agent has not been studied in relation to surgical site infection (SSI) culture data. In our hospital, we introduced an alcohol-based hand rub (ABR) in 2012 as an alternative to traditional aqueous surgical scrubs (TSS). It was the goal of this study to review any...
