Summary This chapter contains section titled: Introduction Case Scenario Prevalence and Cost of Wound Infection What Is Wound Infection? Wound Infection Continuum: Bacterial Balance Common Wound Pathogens Clinical Identification of Wound Infection Management of Wound Infection Summary of Treatment Options and...
A hydrogel wound dressing with a single functionality fails to meet the requirements for successful clinical treatment of chronic diabetic wounds that generally possess complicated microenvironments. A multifunctional hydrogel is thus highly desirable for improved clinical treatment. For this purpose, we rep...
It presents case studies based on treatment of four patients with complex abdominal wounds following wound dehiscence recommends care from only specialists with appropriate training and expertise. The case study also describes the benefit of using DACC-coated dressing for the treatment of infected, ...
reuteri but provided the probiotic with an adequate source for continuously producing reuterin, thus achieving long-acting antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects in the deep wound (Fig. 1c). Inside MNs, L. reuteri could remain highly viable for more than 7 days at room temperature or 60 ...
The comparison of skin defect area and wound healing rate is depicted in Fig. 7b-c. Two weeks post-surgery, the rats were euthanized for tissue sample collection. Fig. 7 MXene microgel-loaded nanofiber membranes stimulated infected diabetic wound healing: (a) A schematic illustration of various...
Bacterial resistance and excessive inflammation are common issues that hinder wound healing. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer a promising and versatile antibacterial option compared to traditional antibiotics, with additional anti-inflammatory propert
When sectioned longitudinally, the elongated heads occurred in several rows; in transverse section, they were hexagonal and formed "crystalline" aggregates. Lysis occurred gradually, and was caused by the breaking away of portions of the cell envelope (cell wall and plasma membrane). During early...
(maximum is ~55 °C) is chosen for subsequent PTT evaluations. Based on the high photothermal conversion efficiency of ZnPB-3 in vitro, PTT for MRSA wound infection in vivo is carried out as shown in Fig.7b. MRSA-infected rats are anaesthetized and exposed to an 808-nm NIR laser at...

It can adapt to various the irregular shapes of acute wounds, maintaining a moist and safe microenvironment while prolonging the action time of nanozyme on wounds, thus promoting wound healing. This injectable hybrid hydrogel shows great potential applications in the field of wound infection management...
