Wound infection is limited to infections induced by surgical incisions, a broader and more comprehensive definition would include an infection of a wound created by physical injury to the skin caused by penetrating trauma from plants, animals, weapons, knives, or other items. Wounds interrupt the skin's continuity, allowing organisms to get access to tissues and infect them.
Surgical wound infections are one of the most prevalent hospital-acquired infections, and they are a significant source of morbidity and mortality.
