- 4. Regimens for Procedures on Infected Skin, Skin Structure, or Musculoskeletal Tissue
- Patients who undergo a surgical procedure that involves infected skin, skin structure, or musculoskeletal tissue, it may be reasonable that the therapeutic regimen administered for treatment of the infection contain an agent active against staphylococci and beta-hemolytic streptococci, such as an antistaphylococcal penicillin or a cephalosporin.
Impact of Restricting Prophylactic Antibiotics
There is data showing that the institution of these more restrictive guidelines does not increase the risk of endocarditis. The NICE guidelines recommended no antibiotic prophylaxis for any patient, and despite a 78.6% reduction in the administration of IE prophylaxis, there was no documentation of an increase in IE cases due to streptococci.[4] In France, following restricted use of antibiotics the incidence of IE was stable.[5]

Recommendation for Infective Endocarditis (IE) Prophylaxis
