RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The use of prosthetic meshes is a common practice in hernia repair surgery. However, infection can appear as an important complication where antibiotic selection must be directed by the etiology of the infection. In recent years, sonication has appeared as an important tool for the diagnosis of many biomaterial-associated infections. Here, we evaluated our experience with this methodology for the diagnosis of mesh infection. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the microbiological records between 2015 and 2019 looking for sonicated meshes in the microbiology laboratory. All samples were processed according to the sonication protocol described by Esteban J et al. (J Clin Microbiol. 2008 Feb; 46 (2): 488-92). RESULTS: 26 samples were processed during the study period. 21 of them gave a positive result for culture (11 polymicrobial and 10 monomicrobial ones). Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were the commonest monomicrobial isolates (4 cases each). There were five cases of mixed gut microbiota. The median (interquartile range) UFC count was > 100,000 (50,000- > 100,000) CFU/mL. CONCLUSION: Sonication is a useful technique for the diagnosis of mesh infection.
