- No significant differences between study groups for any microorganism at any time point. Chi-2 test were used as statistical method
- Bacterial species identified from swabs taken from patients who received preheated and room-temperature skin disinfectant (chlorhexidine 5 mg/mL in 70 % ethanol) with growth in cultures taken perioperatively; 1) before skin disinfection, 2) after skin disinfection, 3) after incision (wound), and 4) before skin closure (wound)
