abstract: An infection in a wound, whether serious or chronic, is one of the main problems and complications which can occur a reason why infections have always caused worry. Although the published evidence regarding infections in wounds is very scarce, in recent years many advances have taken place in the determination of some concepts such as "TIME" or the preparation of the bed of a wound or in the use of silver as a very apt element in some situations. The following article goes into detail about these topics and forms part of the content the authors presented in the VI National Symposium on Bed Sores and Chronic Wounds.
