This is an experimental research based on microbiological analysis. Our aim was to evaluate the influence of sugar on the healing process of infected surgical wounds in 25 patients. On the dehiscences, there have been identified gram positive and gram negative bacteria, and fungi as well. Every patient was administered systemic antibiotics and had the wounds treated locally with crystal sugar three times a day. Statistics showed, by Person's correlation, that sugar did not influence on the healing process of infected surgical wounds in undernourished, overweight and elderly individuals.
