Cat bites are much more likely to become infected compared with dog or human bites (47% to 58% of cat bites, 8% to 14% of dog bites, and 7% to 9% of human bites).43 The risk of infection increases as time from injury to repair increases, regardless of suture material.4 Evidence on optimal timing of primary closure and antibiotic treatment is lacking.4,44, Cosmesis was improved with suturing compared with no suturing in RCTs of patients with dog bites, although the infection rate was the same.44,45 Therefore, dog bite wounds should be repaired, especially facial wounds because they are less prone to infection.4,46 Cat bites, with higher infection rates, have better outcomes without primary closure, especially when not located on the face or scalp.
