The coroner's concerns
1. untimely detection of infection
“had a swab been taken for microbiological analysis when the wound was re-sutured, it was possible that the Staphylococcus Aureus infection could have been detected at this earlier juncture and treatment instigated before the infection spread and resulted in the fatal staphylococcal meningitis”
