Table 2 Summary of microorganism species and treatment in patients undergoing surgery from included studies.

Fisrt authorType(s) of surgeryMicroorganisms species ()TreatmentMain result
Bebko SP [], 201521 Elective orthopedic surgery with hardware implantsCoinfection of and Enterococcus (2 cases)S. aureus (1 case)NAPreoperative Methicillin-resistant decontamination with CHG, mouth wash regimen, and intranasal povidone-iodine reduced about 50% the rate of surgical site infection in patients planned for surgery
Phillips M [], 201622 Arthroplasty or spine fusion surgeryMRSA (1 case)Coagulase-negative staphylococci (1 case) (1 case) (1 case) (1 case) (1 case)Cefazolin (1 g)Clindamycin (600 mg)Vancomycin (1 g)deep SSI occurred in 5 of 763 in the mupirocin group and 0 of 776 in the povidone-iodine group (P=0.03). Intranasal povidone-iodine may be admitted as an elective strategy to reduce surgical site infection
Rezapoor M [], 201723 Primary or revision TJA, FAO, PO, or TSA(7 cases), at 4 hours post-treatment (20 cases), at 24 hours post-treatmentCefazolinVancomycinPI-SNA regimen was significantly more effective at decolonizing at 4 hours post-treatment (P=0.003), comparing to the other three groups. There is no significant difference at 24 hours post-treatment between the three groups
Urias DS [], 201824 Repair of lower extremity fractures(2 cases)NAA 0.2% infection rate was noted among subjects in the intervention group (962) with P=0.020, however, in the pre-intervention group (930), a 1.1% infection rate was observed. PI-SNA regimen showed a significant decrease in the infection rate of subjects planned for surgery
Peng HM [], 201825 Elective orthopedic surgeryMRSA (8) (64)Cefuroxime (1.5 mg)Clindamycin (600 mg)Vancomycin (1 g)The decolonization of the MSSA was 94%, while the decolonization of the MRSA was 100% successful
MRSA – methicillin-resistant ; NA – not available; CHG – chlorhexidine; PI-SNA – povidone-iodine skin and nasal antiseptic; – ; – ; – – – .
