Oral antibiotic for an infected traumatic wound that was immersed in water. Does fresh vs salt water still change the choice?
No. Since December 2025, eTG recommends trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole for all water-immersed wound infections, whatever the water. Add metronidazole if the water was contaminated with soil or sewage.
