Biofilms and Chronic Wounds: Pathogenesis and Treatment Options

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and burn injuries, are often complicated by bacterial and fungal biofilms—protective communities of microorganisms that resist antibiotics and delay healing. This review summarizes how biofilms form, why they are difficult to treat with standard approaches, and discusses new therapeutic strategies. While debridement and antiseptics remain important, combining them with novel treatments like bacteriophages, enzyme therapies, and nanotechnology offers better chances for healing these stubborn wounds.

Editorial: Innovation in tackling the global challenge of eradicating antibiotic-resistant microorganisms

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global health problem causing millions of deaths annually. Scientists are developing new approaches to fight resistant bacteria, including using bacteriophages (viruses that attack bacteria), improving detection methods, and testing plant-based compounds. This editorial discusses 15 research papers showing various innovative strategies, emphasizing that we need multiple tools working together rather than relying on any single solution to solve this complex problem.
