What is Management of Severely Infected Wounds about?

When managing serious wound infections in horses, it is important to consider the wound's entire ecology, including the source and extent of contamination, the presence of bacterial refugia (foreign bodies, surgical implants, devitalized tissue, inflammatory/necrotic debris, bacterial biofilms), the patient's immunocompetence, and tissue perfusion. In addition, the wound's pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivities must be identified. Culture-guided selection of antibiotic therapy and the use of local or regional modes of antibiotic delivery may be critical for success. By itself, antibiotic therapy may be insufficient to resolve bacterial infection in the presence of factors that contribute to the persistence or progression of infection and that otherwise delay wound healing.
