Clinical TherapeuticsTopical Antibiotic Elution in a Collagen-Rich Hydrogel Successfully Inhibits Bacterial Growth and Biofilm Formation In VitroChronic wounds are a prominent concern, accounting for $25 billion of health care costs annually. Biofilms have been implicated in delayed wound closure, but they are susceptible to developing antibiotic resistance and treatment options continue to be limited. A novel collagen-rich hydrogel derived from human extracellular matrix presents an avenue for treating chronic wounds by providing appropriate extracellular proteins for healing...
