Clinic-based Debridement of Chronic Ulcers Has Minimal Impact on Bacteria.

CONCLUSIONS: There is no statistically significant difference between the predebridement versus postdebridement semiquantitative culture results or a detectable pattern of change for the most common bacterial species encountered. These results suggest little impact of clinic-based sharp debridement on bacteria. PMID: 29521643 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
