[Comparative in vitro tests of silver sulphadiazine and zinc sulfadiazine swabs on burn patients].
The antibacterial effect of silver sulphadiazine is compared with that of zinc sulphadiazine in three in vitro tests with 14 different bacterial colonies. Our results demonstrate that silver sulphadiazine is more efficient than zinc sulphadiazine as an antibacterial agent. As the local application of zinc promotes and accelerates wound healing, we suggest to apply first silver sulphadiazine and then zinc sulphadiazine in combined local therapy of burn wounds.
