Advances in bacterial biofilms in chronic wounds

One of the critical pathogenic factors contributing to non-healing chronic wounds is the formation of bacterial biofilms. In light of this, exploring effective strategies for the prevention and control of biofilms to improve the prognosis of patients with chronic wounds has become a research focus in the field of wound care and treatment. This review aimed to provide an in-depth exploration of the concept of bacterial biofilms, their complex formation mechanisms, and how they promote persistent infection states within the context of chronic wounds, offering valuable references for the detection and treatment of these biofilms in chronic wounds.
