In this monocentric study, the median delay between deep brain stimulation implantation and infection was 28 days (range, 8-820). Infections limited to generator (n = 4) required partial hardware removal, whereas infections involving frontal or retroauricular sites (n = 7) required total removal. Surgical samples yielded Staphylococcus aureus (n = 6), Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 2), Propionibacterium acnes, and Micrococcus species.
