Abstract

The healing of skin wounds is a continuous and coordinated process, typically accompanied by microbial colonization and growth. This may result in wound infection and subsequent delay in wound healing. Therefore, it is of particular importance to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the wound environment. In this study, magnesium hydroxide-doped polycaprolactone (PCL/MH) nanofibrous spheres were fabricated by electrospinning and electrospray techniques to investigate their effects on infected wound healing. The prepared PCL/MH nanofibrous spheres had good porous structure and biocompatibility, providing a favorable environment for the delivery and proliferation of adipose stem cells. The incorporation of MH significantly enhanced the antimicrobial properties of the spheres, in particular, the inhibition of the growth of S. aureus and E. coli. We showed that such PCL/MH nanofibrous spheres had good antimicrobial properties and effectively promoted the regeneration of infected wound tissues, which provided a new idea for the clinical treatment of infected wounds.
