Presentation of wounds that were clinically infected after SR8 compared to microbiology and histology findings.

We compared the clinical presentation to microbiological categorization based on quantification and histological findings. Lesions with a bacterial load less than 106 CFU/ml (or CFU/g) were categorized as contaminated, while lesions with bacterial loads above were considered as infected.1WHD = Wound healing delay.2SGF = Skin grafting failure.n/d = not done.
