Anaerobes in Burn-Wound Infections

Anaerobes in Burn-Wound Infections Abstract Anaerobic bacteria are not routinely considered in discussions of the etiology of burnwound infection. However, this review of the literature reveals that there are numerous case reports that document clinically significant anaerobic burn-wound infection and some prospective data that suggest a possible role of anaerobes in the clinical setting of burn-wound sepsis. Further studies are needed to answer the questions of how often anaerobes colonize burn wounds and how often anaerobes invade the wounds to cause clinically significant burn-wound sepsis.

Abstract

Abstract Anaerobic bacteria are not routinely considered in discussions of the etiology of burnwound infection. However, this review of the literature reveals that there are numerous case reports that document clinically significant anaerobic burn-wound infection and some prospective data that suggest a possible role of anaerobes in the clinical setting of burn-wound sepsis. Further studies are needed to answer the questions of how often anaerobes colonize burn wounds and how often anaerobes invade the wounds to cause clinically significant burn-wound sepsis.
