A patient that received a knee replacement implant is experiencing high fever, inflammation, and pus secretion near the incision area. Laboratory test results indicate a bacterial infection and due to the patient’s recent surgical history, it is determined that the infection is a consequence of a bacterial contaminated prosthesis. a. How would you suggest these bacteria survived on the prosthesis? b. Enlist two techniques to prove your hypothesis.
