چکیده
A wound is a breach in the skin, and exposure of subcutaneous tissue following loss of skin integrity. It provides a moist, warm, nutritive conducive to microbial colonization and proliferation. Wound contaminants may not persist, but species that grow and divide may become established, causing wound colonization or infection. The outcome depends on the interaction of complex host and microbial factors. Infection in a wound delays healing and may cause wound breakdown, herniation, or complete wound dehiscence.

متن کاملEtiology and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial pathogens from urinary tract infection.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection in both community and hospital patients. In majority of the cases, empirical antimicrobial treatment is practiced before the laboratory results of urine culture. Thus, antibiotic resistance may increase in urinary bacterial pathogens due to improper use of drugs. This study was designed to find out the etiological agents of UTI and thei...
