As the majority of bacteria identified in contamination of surgical sites with and without SSIs arise from the microbiome of humans and animals within the OR, it is no surprise that an increasing number of OR personnel has been correlated with an increased SSI rate [2]. Reducing traffic in and out of the OR during clean orthopedic procedures may therefore reduce the amount of aerosolized bacterial contaminants and decrease contamination rates [53]. In academic settings, traffic in and out of the OR can anecdotally be higher, therefore in animals with inherent risk factors for SSI, attempts to reduce traffic in the OR are recommended. Both MRSA and MRSP have been identified in small animal hospital environments and among small animal employees [54]. It is possible that hospital personnel carrying MRSA and MRSP may cause direct or indirect transmission to animals [54].
