Abstract
Lung infection is a leading cause of human life lost to morbidity and/or mortality. This problem is exacerbated by the alarming emergence of increasingly antibiotic-resistant (AR) microorganisms worldwide and the lack of effective antimicrobials to overcome the AR bacterial infection. Urinary bladder matrix (UBM) is a biologically derived scaffold material that has been used to promote site-appropriate tissue regeneration and remodeling in a variety of body systems. Our novel findings demonstrate that the preformulated UBM effectively protects the host from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)- and Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced murine pneumonia and may provide a viable alternative/supplement for protection against respiratory AR bacterial infection.
