    Wound infections can disrupt the normal healing process. Infected wounds may contain 100,000 microorganisms per gram of tissue which prevents development of blood vessels and granulation tissue, prolonging the inflammatory phase. During this phase, free radicals and lytic enzymes are released that can harm cellular processes involved in healing. Mixed communities of organisms in infected wounds can also indirectly impact healing by producing destructive enzymes and toxins.

    Wounds which require drug delivery

     Wound infections
     a wound may bear a level of 100 000 micro-organisms per gram of tissue
     If a wound becomes infected, the normal healing is disrupted
     prevent development of blood vessels and formation of granulation tissue
     Prolonged inflammatory phase
     release of free radicals and numerous lytic enzymes that could have a detrimental effect on cellular processes
    involved in wound healing
     Production of destructive enzymes and toxins by mixed communities of
    organisms may also indirectly affect healing
