Abstract:
Chronic wounds cause substantial morbidity and healthcare costs and prevalence is rising as the population ages and diabetes increases. Microbes are ubiquitous in chronic wounds, with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa commonplace. Antibiotic resistance is also widespread and increasing. Patients with chronic wounds are exposed to many antibiotic resistance risk factors. This study investigated antibiotic consumption by patients with chronic wounds and the prevalence of and risk factors for antibiotic resistant organisms in such wounds. Finally, the impact of resistance on the co

Abstract:
Impaired wound healing is a frequent and very severe problem in patients with diabetes mellitus, yet little is known about the underlying pathomechanisms. In this paper we review the biology of wound healing with particular attention to the pathophysiology of chronic wounds in diabetic patients. The standard treatment of diabetic ulcers includes measures to optimize glycemic control as well as extensive debridement, infection elimination by antibiotic therapy based on wound pathogen cultures, the use of moisture dressings, and offloading high pressure from the wound bed.

Abstract:
Chronic wounds have an exaggerated inflammatory response which disrupts the proteolytic microenvironment, increasing proteases, particularly matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This causes degradation of vital matrix components which prevent wound healing. It was therefore hypothesised that a dressing incorporating a peptide based MMP inhibitor may promote healing. Novel peptides designed to chelate the active site zinc, were successfully synthesised using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) and the inhibitory potential of each evaluated against MMPs associated with chronic wounds (MMP-1, -2, -

Healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) are a large and growing problem. Bacterial infections of patients and on the medical devices used to treat them represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. There is also a significant economical impact to the healthcare system attributed to HCAIs. While bacterial infections per se are not a novel problem, the discovery of an adherent polymicrobial phenotype called a biofilm is. A biofilm is defined by its structure and the community of bacteria therein. This study investigated bacteria biofilms in a number of pertinent clinical scenarios.
