Infection or resistance? major trial tests antibiotics before burn surgery

NCT ID NCT04292054

Summary

This study aims to find out if giving a single dose of antibiotics right before skin graft surgery helps prevent serious infections in burn patients. It will compare antibiotics to a placebo in over 500 adults with moderate burns to see which approach leads to fewer infections and better healing. The goal is to settle a major medical debate about whether the benefits of preventing infection outweigh the risks of creating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
