Document Summary

Describe common causes of prosthetic device related infection. List methods used for dialysis and identify infectious risks. Identify the most common cause of skin abscesses and abdominal abscesses. Describe different causes of infections in different types of bites. Differentiate between superficial infection, cellulitis, gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis. Explain the increased susceptibility to infection with pseudomonas aeruginosa as a result of burns. Biofilms can be developed infection: intraoperative contamination (cid:272)a(cid:374) ha(cid:448)e (cid:271)a(cid:272)teria deep (cid:449)/(cid:374) ski(cid:374) (cid:894)(cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:859)t pre(cid:448)e(cid:374)t(cid:895, extension from adjacent infected tissue, hematogenous seeding. Risk for infection increases with insertion of prostheses (e. g. artificial joints), pacemakers, intravenous lines. One of the most common causes of this type of infection is the patients normal skin flora, i. e. staphylococcus epidermidis or transient skin flora, i. e. One of the most common causes of this type of infection is the patients normal skin flora, i. e. staphylococcus epidermidis or transient skin flora, i. e. staphylococcus aureus.
