  • Title: Effect of scrubbing and irrigation on staphylococcal and streptococcal counts in contaminated lacerations.
    Author: Howell JM, Dhindsa HS, Stair TO, Edwards BA.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1993 Dec; 37(12):2754-5. PubMed ID: 8109949.
    Abstract:
    We studied the effects of scrubbing with poloxamer 188 (SCR), irrigating with povidone iodine (PI), and scrubbing followed by irrigation (SCR-PI) on staphylococcal and streptococcal counts in inoculated guinea pig lacerations. PI irrigation and SCR-PI significantly lowered streptococcal counts (P < 0.05). Staphylococcal counts were not different from those in controls.
