AB  - Wound infection is a localized pathological defect in which microorganisms invade skin lesions and decelerate the healing process by triggering inflammation and preventing reepithelization via rapid colonization or biofilm formation [1]. Studies have demonstrated that microorganisms can be seen to accumulate in 6% of acute wounds and over 90% of chronic ones, denoting a therapeutic challenge due to their resistance to conventional antibiotics [2]. This demonstrates that bacterial infections in w...
