Diagnostic value of a point of care bacterial fluorescence imaging device for detecting wound infections in dogs and cats
The WID device was able to confirm the presence of a clinically relevant wound infection in real-time, enabling the clinician to initiate appropriate systemic and/or topical antibacterial treatment immediately. This study provides proof of concept of the point of care WID in dogs and cats upon which further studies can be based.
