The study aim was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of a silver foam dressing in the management of diabetic foot ulcers. We conducted a single-center, prospective, open, noncontrolled study involving 21 outpatients with diabetic foot ulcers with mild infection. All patients received standard of care for their wounds and a silver foam dressing with silicone adhesive was applied twice per week for wound management during a 6-week treatment period. Soft tissue punch biopsies were taken every second week for qualitative and quantitative microbiological analysis. Wounds were assessed at patient admission, and wound bed tissue was evaluated for presence, quality, and consistency of granulation tissue. Clinical evaluation revealed improvements in wound conditions as a result of treatment with the silver dressing. Wollina wound scores improved significantly, from a mean score of 3.9 \u00b1 1.6 points at inclusion to 6.1 \u00b1 1.3 points at the end of the study (n = 19, P &lt; .001). Treatment with the silver dressing resulted in significant decreases in the bioburden of classically considered diabetic foot ulcer pathogenic organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacteriaceae species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli. Findings revealed that the use of silver foam dressing significantly reduced the pathogenic bacterial load and markedly improved the clinical outcome in patients with diabetic foot ulcer with mild infection over a 6-week treatment period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1534734619866610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,5]],"date-time":"2019-08-05T07:44:07Z","timestamp":1564991047000},"page":"269-278","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Clinical and Antimicrobial Efficacy of a Silver Foam Dressing With Silicone Adhesive in Diabetic Foot Ulcers With Mild Infection"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6110-0265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"L\u00e1zaro-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4674-3822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco Javier","family":"\u00c1lvaro-Afonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Sevillano-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ra\u00fal Juan","family":"Molines-Barroso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yolanda","family":"Garc\u00eda-\u00c1lvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"Garc\u00eda-Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria del Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos (IdISSC), Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dmrr.2699"},{"key":"bibr2-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1534734618755582"},{"key":"bibr3-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12590"},{"key":"bibr4-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1534734614545877"},{"key":"bibr5-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1534734614548167"},{"key":"bibr6-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/644732"},{"issue":"6","key":"bibr7-1534734619866610","author":"Dumville JC","year":"2017","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"bibr8-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00125-012-2558-5"},{"key":"bibr9-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/88.11.1436"},{"key":"bibr10-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2007.08.048"},{"key":"bibr11-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cmdc.200900502"},{"key":"bibr12-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2008.02534.x"},{"key":"bibr13-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2007.02264.x"},{"key":"bibr14-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-5491.2007.02079.x"},{"key":"bibr15-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12020"},{"key":"bibr16-1534734619866610","first-page":"29","volume":"36","author":"L\u00e1zaro-Mart\u00ednez JL","year":"2013","journal-title":"Rev Enferm"},{"key":"bibr17-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.21.5.855"},{"key":"bibr18-1534734619866610","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cis346"},{"key":"bibr19-1534734619866610","volume-title":"Position Document.
