Potentiation of infection by epinephrine
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
|December 1, 1985
Abstract:
A subinfective dose of Staphylococcus aureus (6 X 10(6)) does not produce wound infection in the rat model. Reducing the dosage (concentration) of epinephrine results in decreased numbers of viable bacteria in tissue and a lower incidence of wound infection in this model.
