pus was available for culture.) The results in Bristol further supported a impression that the phage type of the staphylococcus was related to the severity 01 infection. Thus the troublesome Phage Type 80 Staphylococcus which was n isolated in 1953 by Rountree and Freeman (1955) in Australia3 has enhanced virulen. and so infection with it leads to sloughs and tissue damage with considerable tox...

The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate AWBAT-S in comparison with Biobrane for the treatment of superficial partial-thickness burns using the patient as his or her own control. Primary outcome measures included length of hospital inpatient stay and patient-reported perception of pain. Secondary outcome measures included time to healing, clinical outcome of burn sites (scarring) and...
