- The study retrospectively analyzed infections after L-shaped zygomatic osteotomy.
- 17 patients were included, with 11 gram-negative and 6 gram-positive bacteria detected.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter aerogenes were the most common gram-negative bacteria.
- Staphylococcus species were the most common gram-positive bacteria.
- P. aeruginosa was highly sensitive to multiple antibiotics, including levofloxacin and gentamicin.
- E. aerogenes showed 100% sensitivity to all tested antibiotics.
- Staphylococcus strains were highly sensitive to cefoxitin, gentamicin, and vancomycin but resistant to clindamycin and erythromycin.
- 88.2% of infections occurred within 10 days post-surgery, and 70.6% occurred before titanium miniplate removal.
