Microbial Biofilms and Chronic Wounds
Background is provided on biofilms, including their formation, tolerance mechanisms, structure, and morphology within the context of chronic wounds. The features of biofilms in chronic wounds are discussed in detail, as is the impact of biofilm on wound chronicity. Difficulties associated with the use of standard susceptibility tests (minimum inhibitory concentrations or MICs) to determine appr...
متن کاملChronic Wounds in Burn Injury: A Case Report on Importance of Biofilms
According to the National Institutes of Health and the Center for Disease and Prevention, it is estimated that 65 to 80 percent of the human infectious are caused by biofilms. Antibiotics and drainage of purulent discharge are the main treatment measures. But in chronic infections sometimes these findings are not easy to recognize. Biofilm is an extracellular polymeric conglomeration generally ...
متن کاملBiofilms in wounds: management strategies.
Biofilms probably induce a chronic and/or 'quiet' inflammation in the chronic wound and so delay healing. This paper reviews current strategies that can be used to suppress biofilms in chronic wounds until better options are available.
متن کاملBiofilms and wounds: much ado about nothing?
Rose Cooper is Professor of Microbiology, Centre for Biomedical Sciences, Cardiff School of Health Sciences, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff Biofilms are communities of multiple species of adherent microorganisms that are embedded within a blanket of slime. Their existence in natural environments and in industrial situations is well known, but their association with chronic wounds is mor...
متن کاملThe prevalence of biofilms in chronic wounds: a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data.
The presence of biofilms in chronic non-healing wounds, has been identified through in vitro model and in vivo animal data. However, human chronic wound studies are under-represented and generally report low sample sizes. For this reason we sought to ascertain the prevalence of biofilms in human chronic wounds by undertaking a systematic review and meta-analysis. Our initial search identified 5...
