This involves a single procedure in which the definitive revision prosthesis is inserted during the index operation after removal of the infected knee replacement and an extensive debridement of all infected tissue.
This is consistent with recently infected animals in which lesions did not develop yet [8], suggesting that 18.2% of all infected wild boar in our sample had been recently infected.
A total of 66.9% of all infected individuals develop symptoms [ 22]; their symptom state is assumed not to alter the transmissibility of infection.
It entails removal of the prosthesis with debridement of all infected tissue followed by administration of antimicrobial therapy, and subsequent delayed reimplantation of a second prosthesis.
Seventy-eight percent of all infected ticks were infected with B. lusitaniae.
79.24% (n = 126) of all infected women were infected by more than one viral type; this was observed in 81.82% (n = 45) of women with CIN and 77.88% (n = 81) of women negative for lesions.
Three of the populations were cultured at a low multiplicity-of-infection (MOI; ratio of infecting viruses to bacterial cells) of 0.002, where ~99.9% of all infected cells should be infected by a single virus [ 19].
The first hosts producing infectious forms were observed on day 7 after inoculation (1.6% of all infected individuals; all other infections were still at the reproductive stage).
We consistently recovered high levels of the bacterium (>105 CFU/ear) from the middle ear washes of all infected animals 3 days post infection with minimal mortality.
Multiple-type infections accounted for 31.3% of all infected women.
