Characteristics of Wound Infections and Methods of Their Treatment Using Preparations of Biological Origin

Abstract

Surgical wound infections are the most common patients’ complications in the postoperative period. In the modern clinic, they worsen the disease prognosis and remain the most important and acute health problem in all countries of the world. The aim of the work was to analyze current scientific data on the peculiarities of the pathogenesis of wound infections and types of their pathogens, as well as drugs of biological origin in the treatment of wound infections. The paper discusses in detail the problem of infection of wound injuries during surgery and domestic injuries of various kinds. The main pathogens of wound infections are considered. Specific pathogenicity factors for bacteria of the genera Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacteriaceae were analyzed. Based on the analysis of literature sources, a list of drugs of biotechnological origin that can be effectively used in combination therapy for the treatment and prevention of wound infections was determined. Conclusions. The result is the identification of those mechanisms of pathogenesis of wound infections that determine the effectiveness of the use of drugs of biological origin in this pathology treatment.
