Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD describing DNA testing of ‘‘capsule’’ specimens. He states testing began in February 2019 and cites a published paper with over 600 consecutive samples reporting bacteria detected on the scar capsule (not the implant capsule) at an incidence of about 29%, with his experience ranging up to ~35% (roughly one-third).

DNA testing of each capsule specimen. And we've done that since February of 2019. Our paper was published with over 600 consecutive samples setting the incidence or how often we find bacteria on the capsule, your scar capsule, not the implant capsule at 29%. So if you look at my study experience over time, it probably varied between that number 29 and as high as 35. So roughly, if you want to set like a third.
