Causative agents of wound infections and the routes by which they access surgical incision sites have been recognised for more than a century. Despite knowledge of the factors that influence the risks of surgical site infections (SSIs) and the means to prevent and/or control them, surgical patients still get infections. Traditional systems of classifying and diagnosing SSIs and the diversity of microbial flora reported in contemporary SSIs will be described. Strategies available to prevent and control SSIs will be critically reviewed and the need to develop alternative approaches will be discussed.
导致伤口感染的病原体以及它们进入手术切口部位的途径,一个多世纪以来一直为人所知。尽管人们已经了解了影响手术部位感染(SSI)风险的因素以及预防和/或控制这些感染的手段,但手术患者仍然会受到感染。本文将描述传统的 SSI 分类和诊断系统以及当代 SSI 中报告的微生物菌群多样性。将对预防和控制 SSI 的现有策略进行批判性评估,并讨论开发替代方法的必要性。
