A Multicenter Study of the Epidemiology of Deep Surgical Site Infections in Children With Nonidiopathic Early-Onset Scoliosis Including Associated Pathogens

As GNR susceptibility to cefazolin was only 41%, expanding prophylaxis to include aminoglycosides for GNR is prudent.Level of EvidenceLevel IV.
