| contents | <p><span>Wound infections remain a major global health concern, driven by their high prevalence and the escalating challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Open wounds arising from surgical procedures, traumatic injuries, and chronic conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers are highly susceptible to microbial contamination, particularly in environments with inadequate hygiene and wound care practices. Pathogenic bacteria including <span>Staphylococcus aureus</span>, <span>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</span>, and <span>Escherichia coli</span> are among the most frequently implicated organisms, often causing delayed healing, localized inflammation, and, in severe cases, life-threatening systemic infections such as sepsis. These complications contribute significantly to prolonged hospitalization, increased treatment complexity, and rising healthcare costs. This study highlights the burden of wound infections, emphasizes the role of key bacterial pathogens, and underscores the urgent need for improved infection prevention strategies and alternative therapeutic approaches to mitigate the impact of antibiotic resistance.</span></p> |
