Wound Infections, antibiotic treatment, antimicrobial, treatmentAbstract
Topical and systemic antibiotic treatment are essential in the prevention and treatment of wound infections. Systemic antibiotics, on the other hand, are strongly linked to mechanisms of resistance, which jeopardize the treatment process. The direction of systemic antibiotics to the eschar becomes less reliable the deeper the burn and the thicker the eschar becomes for local wound care . As a result, topical antibiotics appear as a viable treatment option, as they help to maintain a “high and sustained concentration of the antimicrobial at the infection site.
Every year, wound treatment develops a high urgent clinical problem, as The requirement for wound care has an influence on a significant percentage of the global population. The system of healthcare in the United States spends $20 million a year on wounds . An Incisional, acute, and chronic wounds are all examples of wounds that can become infected and lead to more complications.
Incisional wounds and deep lacerations are often troublesome, and they account for a significant portion of the annual cost of wound healing products. While Wounds from incisions heal more quickly than chronic wounds, they always have challenges with appropriate closure as well as the formation of granulation tissue, which might lower one's quality of life. Wounds from incisions are also susceptible to infection, necessitating further care. Antiseptics, antibiotics, as well as silver dressings have traditionally is always used to treat wounds, however each of these therapies is ineffective against a wide range of microorganisms often present in wounds.
