  • Title: Burn wound sepsis: effect of delayed treatment with topical chemotherapy on survival.
    Author: Salisbury RE, Bevin AG, Steinkraus GE, Enterline DS.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1980 Feb; 20(2):120-2. PubMed ID: 7354493.
    Abstract:
    Using a standardized laboratory rat model of burn wound sepsis, a regimen of once a day application of Silvadene has been found to be more effective treatment than Sulfamylon or cerium-Silvadene. Delaying treatment following infection resulted in decreased survival. Possible reasons for difference in mortality are once-daily application, or perhaps a change in sensitivity between drugs and the infective organism (Ps. aeruginosa) over time.
