Biofilms are one of the greatest challenges in today's treatment of chronic wounds. While
antimicrobials kill platonic bacteria within seconds, they are rarely able to harm biofilms. In …

The treatment of chronic wounds presents a major challenge in medical care. In particular,
the effective treatment of bacterial infections that occur in the form of biofilms is of crucial …

Chronic wounds cannot heal due to impairment of regeneration, mainly caused by the
persistent infection of multispecies biofilms. Still, the effects of biofilm wound infection and its …

Chronic wounds are wounds which are detained in one or more phases of normal wound
healing. It is estimated that 1–2% of the population of developed countries will experience a …

Wounds can commonly become infected with polymicrobial biofilms containing bacterial and
fungal microorganisms. Microbial colonization of the wound can interfere with sufficient …

Chronic wounds are a large burden to patients and healthcare systems. Biofilm infections in
chronic wounds are crucial factors leading to non‐healing of wounds. It is important to study …

Background Biofilms pose a relevant factor for wound healing impairment in chronic
wounds. With 78% of all chronic wounds being affected by biofilms, research in this area is …

In vitro models are used to study biofilm behaviour. However, the model and assay
conditions can substantially affect results. This review discusses published in vitro biofilm …

Objective: Wound biofilms are one of the greatest challenges in the therapy of hard-to-heal
(chronic) wounds, as potent antimicrobial substances fail to eradicate bacteria within short …

Microbial biofilms have become increasingly recognized as a cause of wound chronicity.
There are several topical antimicrobial wound care products available for use; however …
