Antimicrobial Agents

Types of Wounds:

Antimicrobial agents are employed in various types of wounds, including burns, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic injuries. These wounds are susceptible to infection due to compromised skin barriers or underlying health conditions.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of infected wounds include increased pain, redness, warmth, swelling, and discharge of pus or foul odor. Infections can delay healing and lead to severe complications if not promptly treated.

Treatment:

Treatment with antimicrobial agents involves applying topical ointments, creams, or dressings directly to the wound. These agents work by killing or inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms, reducing the risk of infection and promoting a healthy healing environment. In some cases, systemic antibiotics may be necessary to treat severe infections that extend beyond the wound site.
