Activity of HOCl-generating e-bandage with clinically available hydrogels against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> biofilms
In this study, it was shown that some clinically available hydrogels, combined with a 1.77 cm<sup>2</sup> HOCl-generating electrochemical bandage, deliver time-dependent antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> biofilms, offering a potential approach to treat wound infections, including those caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
