Background: Infection is a major problem in orthopaedic implantations leading to implant failure. Implanted foreign bodies are highly susceptible to bacterial and fungal infection Aim: To identify the bacterial agents causing implant infections and the resistant pattern of isolates in patients with implants. The study also is aimed to analyse the virulence characteristics of isolated bacterial agents Materials and methods: Under strict aseptic precautions samples - Pus or Fragments of excised tissue removed at wound. The isolates were identified by using standard microbiological procedures Gram staining of smears and biochemical tests relevant to the isolates were done.
