A prior analysis suggested that wound swab culture (WSC) results were driving unnecessary antibiotic use in patients who were not already receiving treatment. As a quality-improvement initiative, our laboratory introduced an "exception-reporting" protocol on 1 March 2023, whereby typical wound pathogens...
This study aimed to compare swab and biopsy in clinical practice, by including a variety of wounds and using standard sampling and culture procedures. Swabs (Levine technique) and biopsies were taken for microbiological culture in a standardized manner from the same location of one wound for each...

The growth of planktonic culture was different in the presence of the designed nanocoatings, depending on the utilized essential oil and the tested microbial cells. In S. aureus, the most significant growth inhibition was achieved in the presence of cloves and mandarin EOs functionalized silver nano...
