International Wound management: International wound infection institute: Leaders in wound infection understanding, prevention, and management

Abstract

Wound infection is a source of morbidity and mortality the world over; be it in acute wounds, or the ever-growing number of chronic wounds. Much remains to be done by the clinicians in the field and researchers in the lab to better understand and manage wound infection. Though common, the nuances of many of the key issues in infection – biofilms, critical colonisation, and so on – are poorly understood.
