Conducted by the partners of the COMBAT-AMR network, these related projects, funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany, deal with the topics of digitalisation (e-health) and wound infections (SSI, Surgical Site Infections). On the one hand, the causes of wound infections are investigated by means of targeted microbiological diagnostics (pathogen detection and resistance spectrum). On the other hand, these and all other results of microbiological diagnostics are now digitally recorded in a database and forwarded to the attending physician in real time via an app in order to gain valuable time in adapting antibiotic treatment and thus implement a significantly more targeted therapy that also counteracts the development of antibiotic resistance.
