Abstract Purpose of Review To provide an up-to-date overview of recent developments in
diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches for chronic wound biofilms and pathogenic …

Chronic non-healing wounds have become a major worldwide healthcare burden. The
impact of biofilms on chronic wound infection is well established. Despite increasing …

Significance: The presence of a “pathogenic” or “highly virulent” biofilm is a fundamental risk
factor that prevents a chronic wound from healing and increases the risk of the wound …

Wounds are dynamic environments in which dead tissue, exudate, and the bacterial
bioburden interact in a complex manner among themselves and with the tissue of the host …

Chronic wounds are a major healthcare burden, with huge public health and economic
impact. Microbial infections are the single most important cause of chronic, non-healing …

Background: Chronic infections produced by polymicrobial biofilms are responsible for the
majority of human infections. Biofilm has been demonstrated to infect most of the different …

Background: Bioburden is an accepted barrier to chronic wound healing. Defining the
significance, phenotype, clinical classification, and treatment guidelines has been …

How can a better understanding of wound biofilms change your clinical practice? And what
is the likely impact on clinical outcomes? At this year's JWC lecture, sponsored by sorbion …

ABSTRACT A growing body of evidence suggests that in addition to hypoxia, ischemia‐
reperfusion injury, and intrinsic host factors, bacterial biofilms represent a fourth major pillar …

The presence of bio lm remains a challenging factor that contributes to the delayed healing
of many chronic wounds. The major threat of chronic wound bio lms is their substantial …
