Probiotics to prevent repeat joint infection after replacement surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help prevent another infection in people who have had a hip or knee replacement that became infected. If you are scheduled for revision surgery due to an infection, this study may be a good fit.

- You have an infected hip or knee replacement that needs surgery
- You are scheduled for surgery that keeps the implant or replaces it in one or two stages
