I do not have much to do with diabetic or high risk wounds but would be grateul if anyone can point me in the direction of resources or evidence on the following: How common place (if at all) is the practice of using antibiotics when managing a healing diabetic wound which does not appear clinically infected, in essence to protect a fragile, healing wound. anecdotally I have heard of this happening, say with a week course of flucloxacillin at a lower dose than might be used for treatment of known or suspected wound infection. but after a brief internet search I am not coming up with much in the way of evidence to support the practice.
