Hi Thanks for choosing HCM for your query. I can understand the problem discussed in your question. Apparently your husband is having what is known as surgical site infection. In the hospital setting the most common organism is Staphylococcus aureus. It can be treated with antibiotics based upon the wound culture and sensitivity. May be he needs antibiotics like Vancomycin, or Tigecycline which depends upon their sensitivity in the wound culture. Sometimes additional surgery or may be required to treat the wound infection. Make sure that friends and family members wash their hands before and after they enter your husband s room as staphylococcus infection is highly contagious it spreads by touching, shaking hands, sharing the clothes, or utensils. I hope your query has been answered. Your feedback in this regards is highly appreciated.
