Cutibacterium Dermal Colonization: Implications for Total Hip Arthroplasty

Summary

This study is being done to investigate the colonization rate(growth rate) of a particular type of low-virulence (does not typically cause infection) bacterium called Propionibacterium, more specifically P acnes, the same bacterium that is responsible for the majority of acne. Information affecting hip surgery is currently unknown.
