Wound Healing Alterations Caused by Infection
Abstract
The theoretical alterations of wound healing caused by infection apply to the clinical situation. The level of bacteria is clinically important as are the specific qualities of a given species. This latter consideration has not been as completely studied as have the quantitative aspects. However, as pharmacologic means of overcoming the wound healing alterations are sought, specific bacterial species' idiosyncrasies will have to be examined. This has already been identified for the beta-hemolytic streptococcus. That species has not adhered to the level of greater than 10(5) organisms to produce wound complications. It has been repeatedly shown to cause wound problems at a much lower inoculum. Similar information may become available for other organisms. However, it is clear that because wound healing in the clinical situation occurs in the presence of bacteria, it is important to be aware of potential alterations in the repair process that these bacteria can cause.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
