Bacteriophages (phages) are very promising biological agents for the prevention and control
of bacterial biofilms. However, little is known about the parameters that can influence the …

Chronic wounds have harmful effects on both patients and healthcare systems. Wound
chronicity is attributed to an impaired healing process due to several host and local factors …

In diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), biofilm formation is a major challenge that promotes wound
chronicity and delays healing. Antiseptics have been proposed to combat biofilms in the …

Biofilm on the skin surface of chronic wounds is an important step that involves difficulties in
wound healing. The polymicrobial nature inside this pathogenic biofilm is key to …

There is an increasing use of non‐medicated wound dressing with claims of irreversible
bacterial binding. Most of the data are from in vitro models which lack clinical relevance. This …

Chronic wounds present a global healthcare challenge and are increasing in prevalence,
with bacterial biofilms being the primary roadblock to healing in most cases. A systematic …

Abstract Background Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) represent a public health problem
because of their frequency and the severity of their consequences, ie amputation and …

Antimicrobial resistance and tolerance are natural phenomena that arose due to
evolutionary adaptation of microorganisms against various xenobiotic agents. These …

Biofilm research has grown exponentially over the last decades, arguably due to their
contribution to hospital acquired infections when they form on foreign body surfaces such as …

Background The transition from colonization to invasion is critical in diabetic foot ulcer
(DFU). Staphylococcus aureus can colonize DFU, or invade the underlying tissues, causing …
