Acinetobacter baumannii is a common causative agent of hospital-acquired infections and leading cause infection in burns patients. Carbapenem-resistant A. considered major public-health threat has been identified by the World Health Organization as top priority organism requiring new antimicrobials. The most mechanism for carbapenem resistance via horizontal acquisition carbapenemase genes. In this study, we sampled 20 isolates from patient with extensive burns, characterized evolution over...
For extensive burns, autologous donor skin may be insufficient for early debridement and grafting in a single stage. A novel, synthetic polyurethane dermal template (NovoSorb® Biodegradable Temporising Matrix, BTM) was developed to address this need. The aim of study evaluate use BTM primary repair after deep burn injury.A multicentre, prospective, clinical conducted from September 2015 May 2018. endpoint % split graft take over applied at 7-10 days grafting.
