Persons with decreased immune functions, such as diabetics or the elderly, are at risk for wound infections, since they cannot fight off infections easily. An infected wound may be characterized by increased or sustained pain, redness or swelling, pus discharge, bad odor or non-healing of the wound. However, infected wounds result when the body's immune defenses are overwhelmed or cannot cope with normal bacterial growth.

Most wounds are typically contaminated by bacteria. Infected wounds are wounds in which bacteria or other microorganisms have colonized, causing either a delay in wound healing or deterioration of the wound.
