Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: antibacterial efficacy of the F5 hydrogel formulation was also investigated in a pork skin wound infection model, where it significantly reduced the bacterial burden by 4.65 log. These positive outcomes warrant its further development as a topical PAS-wound dressing.
