A Bio on Biofilm - Woundcarelearningnetwork.com
Article by Seth Snowden. When bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms are introduced into a wound as a result of contact between the wound and a contaminated source, the microorganisms can begin to take residence. The individual bacterial cells inhabiting the wound begin to produce and release substances that, with time, meld together and collectively create a biofilm.

A Novel Biofilm Disruptive Agent Influences the Wound Healing Process by Altering the Level of Cytokines and Chemokines Within the Wound - Woundcarelearningnetwork.com
Poster. Wound healing occurs through specific overlapping steps involving different host cell types and mediated by cytokines and chemokines (C/C) with pleiotropic functions. We previously showed by H&E staining that treatment with the novel antimicrobial biofilm disruptive agent (BDA) decreased inflammation on day 1 post-injury (D1), increased angiogenesis and granulation tissue formation on D3, and enhanced keratinocyte hyperplasia on D7.
