Biofilms Chronic Disease Humans Prosthesis-Related Infections Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas Infections Staphylococcal Infections Staphylococcus aureus Therapies, Investigational Wound Healing Wound Infection antibiotic agent antiinfective agent biliary tract infection biofilm colony formation ear infection human infection mastitis nonhuman pathogen clearance pathogenesis priority journal Pseudomonas infection Review theory tonsillitis tooth infection wound infection chronic disease experimental therapy infection pathophysiology physiology Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas infection Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus infection wound healing wound infection
In this review, the author summarizes the role of biofilm formation in chronic nonhealing wound infections along with characteristics of biofilm formation, diagnosis, detection, and treatment. Because biofilms are still not clearly understood, treatment and diagnosis are currently difficult. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
