👉 Tire infection, also known as puncture wound or tire puncture infection, occurs when bacteria enter through a puncture or tear in a tire, compromising its integrity and leading to serious health risks. These infections can result from various sources, including sharp objects like nails, glass, or metal fragments, which puncture the inner tube. Once bacteria, such as Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus, enter the puncture site, they can cause localized inflammation, pain, swelling, and redness. If left untreated, the infection can spread deeper into the body, leading to more severe complications like cellulitis, abscesses, or even sepsis, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems. Proper wound care, including cleaning, dressing, and, in some cases, medical intervention, is crucial to prevent infection and promote healing.
