High failure rate in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>-associated periprosthetic hip and knee joint infections.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common Gram-negative (GN) pathogens in periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). However, not many data are available on them. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of P. aeruginosa in hip and knee PJIs, patient characteristics, types of infection, resistance patterns, treatments, and outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed culture-positive revision total hip and knee arthroplasties (rTHA and rTKA) from 2008 to 2023. Cases were evaluated according to the International Consensus Meeting (ICM) 2018 and European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) criteria 2021. The success rate was calculated according to Tier classification. Results: Among 1640 revision procedures performed on 1286 pat
