AI Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic bacteria in wounds can hinder successful skin grafting, and traditional culture methods for detection take several days.
- Real-time fluorescence imaging provides a quicker way to detect bacteria, enabling faster assessments and documentation.
- In a case study after a modified radical mastectomy, this imaging technique was instrumental in preventing graft rejection despite challenges from a surgical site infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Article Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria in wounds impede successful skin grafting. However, their detection relies on culture methods, which delay confirmation by several days. Real-time fluorescence imaging detects bacteria, allowing for rapid assessment and documentation. We herein report a post modified radical mastectomy, surgical site infection with multidrug-resistant spp. that underwent repeated antibiotic therapy and debridement and eventually grafting. In this case, a real-time fluorescence imaging device helped prevent graft rejection.
