Effects of peritoneal lavage and dry cleaning on bacterial translocation in a model of peritonitis developed using cecal ligation and puncture.

CONCLUSION: According to our study, the cleaning of intraabdominal infections with dry gauze is more effective than the cleaning with physiological saline for the elimination of aerobic bacteria. There is no difference observed with respect to the anaerobic bacterial counts. PMID: 30028499 [PubMed - in process]
