Burkholderia cepacia skin-related ulceration: a case report.

Treatment of infected wounds remains a major challenge for clinicians. Antimicrobial stewardship is an important pillar in wound treatment and, as the role of bacteria in wound repair is not well understood, new treatment options and products are constantly being developed to tackle local infection and biofilm. This case report describes a case of antibiotic-resistant skin infection and subsequent leg ulceration in an 86-year-old man during the COVID pandemic in Italy, which was successfully treated in a conservative way using 1% acetic acid and silver oxysalts in conjunction with compression bandage.
