Background Fungal prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare and often associated with poor outcome; however, risk factors are not well described. Methods This was a retrospective case control study among all patients with PJIs from 2006-2016 at two major academic centers. Each fungal PJI case was matched 11 with a bacterial PJI control by joint (hip, knee, shoulder) and year of diagnosis. We compared demographics, comorbidities, and clinical characteristics between cases and controls using chi square/Fisher's exact or Wilcoxon rank

Contaminants, such as pathogens or non-living substances, can spread through the interaction of their carriers (e.g., air and surfaces), which constitute a network. The structure of such networks plays an important role in the contaminant spread. We measured the contaminant spreading efficiency in different networks using a newly defined parameter. We analyzed basic networks to identify the effect of the network structure on the contaminant spread. The spreading efficiency was highly related to some network parameters, su
