Abstract: Chronic wounds typically require several concurrent therapies, such as debridement, pressure offloading, and systemic and/or topical antibiotics. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) towards reducing or...
Anaerobic Bacterial Infection
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Anaerobic Bacterial Infection.
Cave canem: HBO₂ therapy efficacy on Capnocytophaga canimorsus infections: a case series.
Abstract: Dog bites are a frequent injury, but the incidence and type of lesions vary across countries. Although only few patients develop complications, the treatment of advanced injuries has a considerable medical, social and economic impact. A frequently isolated...
[Toxins of Clostridium perfringens as a natural and bioterroristic threats].
Abstract: Clostridium perfringens is absolutely anaerobic rod-shaped, sporeforming bacterium. The morbidity is connected with producing toxins. Depending on the type of toxin produced Clostridium perfringens can be divided into five serotypes:A-E. Under natural...
