Abstract
The way we view bacteria and how they cause infection has changed significantly since the era of Louis Pasteur (France, 1822-1895) and Robert Koch (Germany, 1843-1910), early pioneers of modern vaccination. This review article will present a reflective perspective on the thoughts of today's leading researchers and clinicians, in addition to reviewing evidence on chronic wound infection, both past and present.
