Wound infections can prolong the inflammatory phase of healing. The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is commonly found in chronic wounds and contributes to the chronicity. It also presents natural antimicrobial resistance, which complicates treatment, and may vary depending on the product used in the lesions. Objective: To analyze the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains found in the chronic wounds of outpatients treated with carboxymethylcellulose 2% gel or polyurethane board. Method: a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, through the collection of biological materials from wounds by swab, culture, identification and molecular characterization of the microorganisms found.
