The impact of biofilms on chronic wound infection is well established. Despite increasing understanding of the underlying mechanism of biofilm formation in chronic wounds, current strategies for biofilm diagnosis in chronic wounds are still far from ideal.
Understanding Infection and Biofilm in Wound Care
Biofilm and its role in wound infection. Biofilm, or bacterial aggregates, are microorganisms embedded in a thick, slimly barrier of sugars and proteins. This barrier shields microorganisms from a patient’s natural immune system and from many antimicrobial agents. 1 Biofilm can form in a wound within 24 hours.
