title: [Bacterial population on the site of loss of cutaneous substance. Its role on the success of skin graft].
abstract: The bacterial population of 53 skin defects was studied together with its influence on the success of split skin grafts. All of the skin defects were found to be infected. Coagulase + Staphylococcus, group A beta-haemolytic Streptococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the micro-organisms most frequently isolated. The number of microorganisms does not influence the success of the graft. Streptococcus almost always causes failure of the graft in contrast with the other microorganisms which do not appear to have any specific influence. The anti-infectious strategy must therefore be selectively directed against this microorganism.
