We have reported a gonococcal infection in a surgical incision made ten months before the onset of urethral discharge. Gonococcal wound infections may arise from direct contamination or possibly by blood-borne dissemination. Principles guiding therapy are similar to those for wound infections from other organisms, with attention to adequate drainage ...

Wounds will readily acquire bacteria, unless protective measures are taken. The bacterial protection afforded by conventional absorbent cellulose dressings has been shown to be limited, particularly in the presence of serous exudate that may compromise dressing integrity. In addition, dressings may shed particles that remain in the wound.

The proportion of Staphylococcus aureus that is methicillin resistant (MRSA) has been rising in UK hospitals over the past 10 years. In some individual hospitals this increase has been explosive. The propensity for MRSA to spread arises mainly from the following reasons: Antimicrobial selection increases the biomass of MRSA in a particular patient or ...
