Excerpt from The Bradshaw Lecture on the Treatment of Wounds: Delivered Before the Royal College of Surgeons of England on Dec. 4, 1908
Thus we have three reasons why wounds treated on Listerian principles are found to be free from organisms, even although it is certain that organisms of some kind or other do enter during the operation (1) No patho genic organisms are admitted at the time of the operation; this is probably so in most instances. (2) If pathogenic organisms do enter they may be so few in number that they cannot obtain a footing. (3) The pathogenic organisms which enter may have such slight virulence, either naturally, or acquired as the result of the action of the antiseptics with which they come in contact, that they cannot overcome the resisting power of the body. As a matter of fact, the organisms which usually enter during a carefully-performed Listerian operation are either non-pathogenic bacilli or the ordinary micrococcus epidermidis, which has only very slight, if any, pathogenic power.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of wound treatment from its historical roots in Lister's groundbreaking work to the contemporary focus on aseptic techniques. It offers a critical examination of the principles and methods used to prevent infection in wounds, weighing the theories and practices current in various periods against scientifically ascertained facts. The author argues that while the initial emphasis on eliminating bacteria from wounds was essential, the current trend towards extreme avoidance of antiseptic precautions may be misguided. The book provides a balanced perspective on the importance of both excluding bacteria and minimizing irritation of the wound surface, emphasizing the need for a judicious use of antiseptics. This book serves as a valuable resource for surgeons and medical professionals seeking a deeper understanding of wound treatment and its historical and scientific evolution.
