It is known that pH has a role to play in wound healing. In particular, pH has been shown to
affect matrix metalloproteinase activity, tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases activity …

We review the recent literature concerning the efficiency of antimicrobial photodynamic
inactivation toward various microbial species in planktonic and biofilm cultures. The review …

Bacterial infections are a costly sequela in any wound. The corrosion properties of 0.15,
0.30, 0.45 and 0.60 g of Mg metal were determined in Mueller–Hinton broth by serially …

The application of antimicrobials in the management of wounds is a complex procedure
requiring appropriate clinical decision making, judgment and a thorough understanding of …

The role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of chronic, nonhealing wounds is unclear. All
wounds are colonized with bacteria, but differentiating colonizers from invading organisms is …

The rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria due to overuse and misuse of antibiotics in medicine
and dentistry is a growing concern. New approaches are needed to combat antibiotic …

An experimental model that mimicked the structure and characteristics of in vivo biofilm
infections, such as those occurring in the lung or in dermal wounds where no biomaterial …

A biofilm is an aggregation of microbes that manufacture a protective carbohydrate matrix,
which allows them to adhere to each other and to a host wound surface. The matrix shields …

Antibiotic resistance of biofilms is a growing public health concern due to overuse and
improper use of antibiotics. Thus, determining an effective minimal concentration of …

Wound dressings impregnated with silver have a role to play in aiding to reduce both the
dressing and wound microbial bioburden. It is therefore imperative that antimicrobial wound …
