New Data from Janssen Research & Development Illuminate Research in Surgical Wound Infection (Postsurgical Carprofen Does Not Substantially Decrease Bacterial Growth in a Minipig Model of Staphylococcus aureus Deep Surgical Wound Infection).

A recent study by Janssen Research & Development examined the impact of analgesics on bacterial growth in a Staphylococcus aureus surgical wound infection model in minipigs. The study found that the use of carprofen postsurgery did not substantially decrease bacterial burden compared to a standard analgesia protocol. The researchers emphasized the importance of studying the effects of analgesia in infection models to ensure accurate experimental outcomes.
