In addition to clinical signs of infection (e.g. inflammation, purulence and pain), a microbial count of ≥105 colony‐forming units/g has historically been used to define wound infection. However, it is increasingly recognised that, rather than a high... Read More about The detrimental impact of extracellular bacterial proteases on wound healing.
