Comparison of the Incidence and Clinical Characteristics of Gram-positive and Gram-negative Surgical Site Infections after Gastric Surgery

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is prominent among the total incidence of healthcare-associated infections, and is a major contributing factor in the trend of increasing medical costs. There have been numerous efforts to analyze the conditions and causes of SSI for the purpose of preventio...
