  • What is the difference between colonization and infection?

    colonization and infection is that colonization is the process of establishment of the microbe in the body tissues while the infection is the process of invading body tissues by the microbe to cause the symptoms of the disease.

  • What is meant by infection and colonization?

    Colonization. • Indicates the presence of an organism without symptoms of illness. It can occur in the nares, trachea, skin folds, rectum, or in an open wound such as decubitus ulcer. The patient does not have symptoms when colonized. Infection indicates the presence of an organism with clinical signs and symptoms of illness.

  • What is bacterial colonization and what causes it?

    Colonization of the upper airway is the prerequisite to invasive disease by many respiratory tract pathogens. Colonization drives evolution of virulence factors that cause disease. Colonizing bacteria must adhere to the mucosal surface, obtain nutrients for growth, evade host immunity, and transmit to a new host.

PRINCIPLES OF BEST PRACTICE

Even though it is virtually inevitable that most wounds contain micro-organisms, many heal successfully. However, sometimes micro-organisms (particularly bacteria) multiply, invading and damaging tissues, delaying healing and occasionally causing systemic illness. The potential for bacteria to produce harmful effects is influenced by the: ability o

DEFINITIONS

The presence of bacteria in a wound may result in: contamination – the bacteria do not increase in number or cause clinical problems colonisation – the bacteria multiply, but wound tissues are not damaged infection – the bacteria multiply, healing is disrupted and wound tissues are damaged (local infection). Bacteria may produce problems nearby (sp

Intervention required

*Localised infection may or may not be accompanied by the classical signs and symptoms of inflammation. When it is not, various terms have been used, eg critical colonisation (see main text) ? Further research is required to fully understand the factors involved in the transition from colonisation to localised infection. This may facilitate future

APPLICATION TO PRACTICE

Intervention is usually required only when the patient is at a high risk of wound infection (see page 2) or when the interaction between the bacteria in a wound and the host’s defences impairs healing, causes further damage, and results in localised, spreading or systemic infection woundinfection-institute.com

DIAGNOSIS

Figure 2 Pocketing Smooth, non-granulating areas in the The diagnosis of wound infection is made mainly on clinical grounds. Assessment should include evaluation of the patient, the tissues around the wound and the wound itself for the signs and symptoms of wound infection, as well as for factors likely to increase the risk and base of a wound su

RISK OF INFECTION

The risk of wound infection is increased by: any factor that debilitates the patient, impairs immune resistance or reduces tissue perfusion, eg: – comorbidities – diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised status, hypoxia/poor tissue perfusion due to anaemia or arterial/cardiac/respiratory disease, renal impairment, malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis, obes

MANAGEMENT

Effective management of wound infection often requires a multidisciplinary approach and may involve specialist referral (Figure 5). It aims to readjust the interaction between the patient and the infecting micro-organism(s) in favour of the patient by: optimising host response reducing the number of micro-organisms. woundinfection-institute.com

OPTIMISING HOST RESPONSE

Implementation of measures to optimise host response will enhance the ability of patients to fight infection and improve their healing potential. Systemic factors that may have contributed to the development of the wound infection (and often in the case of chronic wounds, the wound itself) should be addressed, eg optimisation of diabetic glycaemic

Effective hygiene and preventative measures

Infection control procedures should be followed to prevent further contamination of the wound and cross-contamination. Good hygiene practice includes paying particular attention to thorough hand cleansing/disinfection and suitable protective working clothes, including gloves. Figure 5 Effective management of wound woundinfection-institute.com

OPTIMISE HOST RESPONSE

Optimise management of comorbidities, eg optimise glycaemic control in diabetic patients, enhance tissue perfusion/oxygenation Minimise or eliminate risk factors for infection where feasible Optimise nutritional status and hydration Seek and treat other sites of infection, eg urinary tract infection woundinfection-institute.com

GENERAL MEASURES

Manage any systemic symptoms, eg pain, pyrexia Provide patient and carer education Optimise patient cooperation with management plan Ensure psychosocial support woundinfection-institute.com

RE-EVALUATE REGULARLY

Relate frequency of re-evaluation to the severity of the infection and condition of the patient Are the wound and patient improving? Is the wound starting to heal? If not, re-evaluate the patient and wound and adjust management accordingly Systematic monitoring and recording of symptoms is helpful in detecting improvement or deterioration. Consider

Cleansing infected wounds

Infected wounds should be cleansed at each dressing change. Cleansing by irrigation should use sufficient pressure to effectively remove debris and micro-organisms without damaging the wound or driving micro-organisms into wound tissues. ? The ideal agent for and method of cleansing infected wounds have not yet been identified. However, there may b

Antimicrobial therapy

Antimicrobial therapy may be required when other methods of reducing wound bacterial load are likely to be insufficient in localised infection, or when the infection is spreading/systemic. Antimicrobial agents – including antiseptics and antibiotics – act directly to reduce numbers of micro-organisms: Antiseptics are applied topically and are non-s

APPLICATION TO PRACTICE

Prompt, effective management of wound infection may reduce time to healing and minimise impact on patients, healthcare systems and society Treatment of an infected wound should follow a clear, decisive plan Management of comorbidities may require specialist input Good hygiene, wound debridement and wound cleansing will aid reduction in wound bacter

USING ANTISEPTICS

Antiseptics generally have a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. Their action at multiple sites within microbial cells reduces the likelihood of bacteria developing mechanisms to avoid their effects and so may explain their relatively low levels of bacterial resistance. Factors influencing the choice of antiseptic for an infected wound includ

Roles and formulation

Antiseptics are used mainly in the treatment of infected open acute and chronic wounds (Box 3, see page 7). If there are signs of spreading or systemic infection, antiseptics should be used in conjunction with systemic antibiotics. Antiseptics are available in many different forms: liquids, pastes, creams, ointments, gels, powders, sprays and impre

APPLICATION TO PRACTICE

Treatment of infected wounds with antiseptics is often necessary – clearly define reasons for use, treatment goals and duration of use Use antiseptics in the context of a management plan that incorporates optimising host immune response and other methods of reducing bacterial load (Figure 5, see page 5) Consider how the formulation of an antiseptic

BOX 5 Useful definitions Argyria – A term that is often misused. This very rare condition produces blue-grey discolouration of the skin and is associated with long-term systemic exposure to silver salts. Argyria differs from the reversible local discolouration that may be associated with silver dressings; argyria is irreversible and can affect th

  • Quelle est la différence entre la contamination et la colonisation ?

    La contamination se définit comme une présence passive du germe sans multiplica- tion. La colonisation se caractérise par une mul- tiplication bactérienne qui dépasse les capacités locales de défense, mais sans toutefois induire des signes cliniques.
  • Quels sont les modes de contamination ?

    Modes de transmission des bactéries et des virus
    Les piqures de moustiques, les morsures d'animaux, les seringues infectées sont des exemples plus concrets de ce mode de transmission. Les virus et les bactéries peuvent aussi se transmettre par la muqueuse respiratoire.
  • C'est quoi une colonisation de l'arbre urinaire ?

    Colonisation. L'arbre urinaire est normalement stérile à l'exception de la partie distale de l'urètre. Une colonisation correspond à la présence d'un (ou de plusieurs) micro-organisme dans l'arbre urinaire sans qu'il ne génère par lui- même de manifestations cliniques.
  • L'infection des bactéries par leurs virus se déroule en quatre étapes principales qui sont: (i) la reconnaissance spécifique de la cellule hôte et l'entrée du génome dans le cytoplasme, (ii) la réplication du génome viral, (iii) l'assemblage des particules virales, et (iv) leur rel?hement, menant dans la plupart des

Une charge bactérienne supérieure à 105 bactéries par gramme de tissu est le seuil auquel une colonisation critique devient une infection. Si elle est supérieure à 106 bactéries par gramme de tissu, la cicatrisation est compromise.

Qu'est-ce qu'une colonisation urinaire ?

Une bactériurie asymptomatique, ou colonisation urinaire, correspond à la mise en évidence d'une bactérie sur l'ECBU, sans qu'aucun symptôme n'y soit rattaché, qu'il y ait ou non une leucocyturie associée.

Comment se fait la colonisation de l'organisme ?

Pour coloniser l'organisme, le méningocoque doit adhérer aux cellules qui tapissent la paroi des vaisseaux sanguins.
. Les chercheurs développent des moyens de contrer cette adhésion afin d'enrayer le processus infectieux.

Comment on attrape une septicémie ?

Causes de septicémie Les infections pulmonaires sont la cause la plus fréquente de septicémie.
. Les infections urinaires , qui ne sont pas traitées à temps ou correctement peuvent induire une septicémie.
. Il arrive que des infections de l'abdomen et des plaies en soient également responsables .
