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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 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
- Your doctor plans to eventually stop your antibiotics
- You are willing to take a probiotic and understand the benefits and risks

This study tests if taking probiotics before and after surgery can help your immune system fight infection in a hip or knee replacement. You would be given a probiotic or a placebo alongside your standard treatment.
This study follows people who have an infection around a hip, knee, or shoulder implant (prosthesis). It uses standard infection tests (like cultures and blood tests) to confirm the diagnosis and better understand this problem after surgery.
This trial tests if a new drug called PLG0206 can stop a knee joint infection from coming back after a surgery called DAIR. DAIR cleans the infected area and keeps the artificial knee in place, and this study wants to see if adding PLG0206 helps prevent the infection from returning.
This trial looks at infections in hip, knee, or shoulder replacements in people who needed critical care and later passed away. It aims to learn from their medical information to better prevent and treat similar infections.
This study checks what happens over the long term for people who had an infection around a replaced (prosthetic) hip. It mainly helps doctors understand recovery and long-term outcomes after treatment.
This trial is trying to find out if the bacteria in your gut can predict whether your knee or hip replacement will get infected or fail early. It recruits people who are already having a knee replacement or a revision surgery for a broken or infected joint, and who also have an imbalance in their gut bacteria.
