Viability of Lucilia sericata maggots after exposure to wound antiseptics.
After debridement and before dressing a wound with maggots of calliphorid flies, one frequently performed step is the application of antiseptics to the prepared wound bed. However, the concomitant application of antiseptic agents during maggot therapy is regarded controversial as antiseptics may interfere with maggots' viability. In this experimental in vitro study, the viability of fly maggots...
متن کاملLucilia sericata medicinal maggots: a new source of antimicrobial compounds
Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is increasingly being used as a fast and effective treatment of non-healing wounds. It has been demonstrated that the application of sterile larvae to an infected non-healing wound results in the removal of necrotic tissue (debridement), disinfection, rapid elimination of infecting microorganisms and enhancement of the healing process. Many studies have provided...

متن کاملQuorum-sensing-regulated virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are toxic to Lucilia sericata maggots
Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is widely used for debridement of chronic infected wounds; however, for wounds harbouring specific bacteria limited effect or failure of the treatment has been described. Here we studied the survival of Lucilia sericata maggots encountering Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in a simple assay with emphasis on the quorum-sensing (QS)-regulated virulence. The maggots wer...
