Abstrakt:	A study conducted at the University of South Florida compared the efficacy of 24 hours versus 5 days of prophylactic antibiotics in preventing surgical site infections in outpatient elective facial plastic surgery. The study found that decreasing the duration of antibiotics to 24 hours did not increase the risk of postoperative infection. This supports the use of shorter antibiotic courses to conserve antibiotics and combat rising rates of resistance. The research article provides more detailed information on the study's methodology and findings. [Extracted from the article]
