Often times the management of chronic wounds can become challenging for clinicians. In the article by Sibbald et al (1) they emphasize that wound healing should be achieved through an interprofessional team approach where the focus is holistic‚ focusing not only on the patient’s wound but on the patient as a whole. Once the cause of the wound is identified‚ the wound can be classified into three categories: healable‚ maintenance and non healable (1). Referring to the wound bed preparation paradigm

The Shiga toxin comprises a family of related protein toxins produced by bacteria Shigella dysenteriae. The bacteria S. dysenteriae was discovered by Japanese bacteriologist Kiyoshi Shiga in 1898. Shiga studied 36 patients at the Institute for Infectious Diseases (Tokyo‚ Japan) and isolated a bacterium from the intestinal tissue of dysentery patient. Bacterial isolates were cultured and fed to dogs; that resulted in dysenteric disease (Shiga‚ 1898). Shigella belongs to enterobacteriaceae bacterial
