was performing some DD on burn infections and found the below interesting publication.
gives a very good insight regarding burn wounds, corresponding infections and in particular (most interesting part for me) the problems being faced in the biofilm layer.
some excerpts on general facts on burns:
- Wound infection is one of the main clinical complications associated with wound care. - In burn patients, in particular, the leading cause of mortality is an infection, with 75% of all deaths from burns resulting from infection. - Burn wounds are a severely debilitating class of wound and can have a life-long impact on a patient’s health. - Annually around 265,000 deaths worldwide are attributed to fire-related burns alone, with 90% of all burns taking place in developing countries where the patient mortality reaches 100% with burns covering >40% of total body surface area.
