Activity of silver-zinc nanozeolite-based antibiofilm wound dressings in an in vitro biofilm model and comparison with commercial dressings
This study shows that the ABF-XenoMEM is competitive with extensively used commercial wound dressings in a colony biofilm model. Nanozeolite-entrapped silver/zinc antimicrobials in association with quat have the potential for application in biofilm-infected wounds and require animal and clinical studies for definitive proof.
