Wound infections

A wound is damaged or breaks in the surface of the skin. The wound is divided into two types, they are acute wound that includes minor cuts, laceration, bites, etc, and chronic wounds that can become slow to heal including ulcers on the legs and feet. Redness, pain, and swelling are signs of a wound.

When heat treatment is used as to control microbial growth, what is the immediate impact of this increased temperature? The microbe's DNA is digested and the microbe can no longer reproduce. The microbe is unable to attach to host cells. The microbe is unable to synthesize and secrete toxins. The microbe's food is destroyed and the microbe is without a food source. The microbe's proteins are denatured and the membranes are disrupted.
