The discrepancy started with the demonstration of increase in the frequency of infections in the perioperative antibiotics administered group when compared to controls [ 3 ], the demonstration of effectiveness of antibiotic administration before exposure and leading to decrease in the infection frequency [ 4 ] but at the same time an alarming increase in the incidence of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections in the hospital setting [ 5 ]. Thus, t...
