Antibiofilm Efficacy of Honeybee Products Against Wound Biofilm

Abstract

Treatment of bacterial biofilm in the wound is complicated by the mechanisms underlying biofilm growth. Many clinically relevant biofilms are polymicrobial. Furthermore, mixed species biofilms have complementary metabolic strategies for obtaining nutrients and degrading host immune molecules. Therefore, there is an urgent need to introduce novel or reemerging effective approaches to combat bacterial biofilms in chronic wounds.
