The use of preoperative antimicrobials is most often associated with a distant active infection, most commonly associated with wound and skin infections [70]. The use of preoperative antimicrobials has been associated with an increased risk for SSI and as such, postponement of elective orthopedic cases requiring preoperative antimicrobials is recommended [2]. Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials are known to contribute to antimicrobial resistance, therefore avoiding the potential for SSI development by postponing surgery in the face of active antimicrobial use should limit the animal's risk of developing a multidrug‐resistant SSI.
