| Abstract | Cultures of allograft sites on burn patients occasionally show microbes that were not previously cultured from that patient. Our purpose was to determine 1) if microbes on allograft sites could have been transferred to the burn patient from the allograft donor and 2) if microbial transfer is different if the allograft was fresh or frozen. All allografts were cultured by the skin bank after recovery (pre-antimicrobial) and after the skin had been in an antimicrobial solution (post-antimicrobial). These culture results were compared with the results of cultures taken at the hospital from the allograft sites of burn patients. All allograft recipients at the burn hospital during 2005 were included in this Institutional Review Board approved study. Sixty-one donors provided 143 allografts for 38 patients. From the 61 donors, 114 precultures were taken; 19.5% were positive for at least one organism. Only 6.8% of 118 post-antimicrobial cultures were positive. Of the 143 allografts on burn patients, 111 were used fresh and 32 had been cryopreserved. During dressing changes, 124 cultures were taken from sites that received fresh allograft and 27 from sites that received frozen; 54.8% of cultures from fresh allograft sites and 41.5% from frozen sites (not significant, chi) were positive for microbes, which were mostly the patient's own flora. None of the microbes isolated from the burn patient allograft sites matched organisms on the pre- or post-antimicrobial cultures from the donor allografts. Regardless of whether the allografts were fresh or frozen, no instances were identified in which donor microorganisms were transferred from a donor to a recipient. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
