Table 2. Surgical complication rates: Prophylactic vs no prophylactic antibiotics.

Surgery Type	Prophylaxis	No Prophylaxis	Total
Peripheral lymph node biopsies	2.37% (n = 1,011)	2.05% (n = 1,219)	2.20% (n = 2,230)
Laparoscopic biopsies	3.61%* (n = 83)	0.76%* (n = 1,316)	0.93% (n = 1,399)

Complication rates of peripheral lymph node (PLN) and laparoscopic biopsy (mesenteric lymph node, liver, and/or spleen) procedures in all animals, with and without the use of prophylactic antibiotics. Asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant results (p value <0.05).
