The purpose of the study was to evaluate the significance of morphology, microbiology and influence of different bite wounds management modalities on final outcome. We have determined the time from wounding to the commencement of treatment, locations of bite wounds, number of tissue structures involved. The most common micro-organisms isolated from bite wounds before the treatment in decreasing order are as follows: Pasteurella canis, Staphylococcus intermedius and Streptococcus canis. Staphylococcus intermedius and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most frequently isolated bacteria from wounds where thorough surgical debridement was not possible as well as from wounds with healing complications. Primary closure, partial primary closure and open wound management with regard to the time from wounding and number of tissue structure involved were evaluated. The influence of antibiotics on wound healing was also studied and evaluated.
