IAHRS Recommended Hair Transplant Surgeon

Years ago, many doctors and clinics required the pre-op use of antibiotics and then continuing through approximately 3 days post-op. Then it seems in the present day, it is rarely advocated.
Infections and folliculitis are rare and certainly not common with HT surgery, but is there a viable reason why clinics have moved away from the use of antibiotics?
Recently, many of us have heard that continued use of antibiotics or over-use can build up a resistance to them when they are clearly needed for other conditions/reasons. Could this be the primary reason why the use of them in HT procedures have diminished?
