Which outcome impairs wound recovery when bacteria enter a wound?

💡 Explanation

Reduced wound recovery results from diminished debris clearance due to impaired phagocytosis by neutrophils, because the bacteria burden overwhelms the immune cells; therefore increased inflammation persists, rather than efficient tissue repair from bacterial removal.
