Chronic wounds continue to represent a difficult and complex problem for both patients and
healthcare providers. Bacterial biofilms represent a critical component of nonhealing …

Bacterial biofilm has been shown to play a role in delaying wound healing of chronic
wounds, a major medical problem that results in significant health care burden. A …

Introduction The recent literature suggests that chronic wound biofilms often consist of
multiple bacterial species. However, without appropriate in vivo, polybacterial biofilm …

Background: Bacterial biofilm is recognized as a major detriment to wound healing. The
efficacy of traditional wound care against biofilm has never been studied. The authors …

Data supporting the concept that microbial biofilms are a major cause of non‐healing ulcers
remain limited. A porcine model was established where delayed healing resulted from …

BACKGROUND: Although bacterial biofilm is recognized as an important contributor to
chronic wound pathogenesis, differences in biofilm virulence between species have never …

A medium (Brain Heart Infusion plus 10% human plasma) was developed, tested, and
validated for growing Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vitro. With this medium, S. aureus …

Bacterial biofilm is increasingly suspected as being a significant barrier to wound healing.
Bacteria predominantly attach to surfaces in their natural habitats and form biofilm; in this …

There is a high demand for noninvasive imaging techniques for wound assessment. In vivo
reflectance confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) represents an innovative optical …

Chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers,
represent a significant cause of morbidity in developed countries, predominantly in older …
