Actually the bacteria are attracted to the sugar, as a source of food rather
than the wound edges. Many years ago, I worked in a nursing home as an
aide,,,,,part time high school job......and the nurses had us apply brown
sugar and furicin to the edges of decubitus ulcers.
It worked great.....the ulcers would gradually heal inward,
while the exposed flesh stayed clean and bacteria free.

Interestingly enough,,,,,many doctors i work with now a days have never heard
of this Rx.

Weird.
