Title: The use of topical antibiotics in the prevention of experimental wound infection
Abstract: 1.1. Experimental wound infections were produced in all instances with a standard number of organisms, without generalized toxicity. 2.2. The incidence of infection in S. aureus-contaminated wounds was decreased following antibiotic irrigation but was not statistically significant. Further work with larger groups of animals must be done. 3.3. In E. coli-contaminated wounds antibiotic irrigation produced a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of infection. 4.4. No attempt was made to evaluate the relative merits of the two antibiotics used in this study.
