- Abstract
We compared paired operative bone cultures (initial operation and reoperation) for 35 patients who experienced foot osteomyelitis treatment failure at a single hospital. Concordance was poor (kappa = 0.180). Staphylococcus aureus, gram negatives, and anaerobes were the most common discordant bacteria seen at reoperation, while Enterococcus was the most persistent.
