Systematic Bacteriologic Examination of the Wound.—This consists ina regular determination of the number of microbes on the wound is done by transferring with a standard loop a portion of the secretion to aslide and counting the number of microbes per microscopic field. This is carriedout every second day, and the results are entered on a suitable chart. Whenthe microbes are absent from the wound on three successive counts, the woundis considered sterile. Though not absolute, the bacteriologic control is of greatpractical value as a therapeutic guide.
