In recent years, bacterial infections in hospitals have grown particularly due to the development of antibiotic resistance. Recent research targets the discovery of new antibiotics that exhibit broad spectrum of action without adverse effects or minimizing adverse effects. In this study, the activity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles against three bacteria commonly found in infectious diseases in the ORL sphere was evaluated. The recorded data revealed an activity comparable to that of the standard antibiotics used in these types of infections, with the observation that the activity of the nanoparticles could also be observed in the particular cases of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract Damage to the skin causes physiological and functional issues. The most effective treatment approach is the use of wound dressings. Silk fibroin (SF) is a promising candidate biomaterial for regulating wound healing; however, its antibacterial properties and biological activity must be further improved. In this study, a photocrosslinking hydrogel was developed to treat full-thickness cutaneous wounds. The composite hydrogel (Ag–AV–SF hydrogel) was prepared by introducing the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and aloe vera (AV) as the modifiers. In vitro study exhibited great antibacterial ability, biocompatibility and cell-proliferation and -migration-promoting capacities. It also showed the pH-response releasing properties which release more AgNPs in a simulated chronic infection environment. The healing effect evaluation in vivo showed the healing-promoting ability of the Ag–AV–SF hydrogel was stronger than the single-modifiers groups, and the healing rate of it reached 97.02% on Day 21, higher than the commercial wound dressing, silver sulfadiazine (SS) cream on sale. Additionally, the histological and protein expression results showed that the Ag–AV–SF hydrogel has a greater effect on the pro-healing regenerative phenotype with M2 macrophages at the early stage, reconstructing the blood vessels networks and inhibiting the formation of scars. In summary, the Ag–AV–SF hydrogel developed in this study had good physical properties, overwhelming antibacterial properties, satisfactory biocompatibility and significantly promoting effect on cell proliferation, migration and wound healing. Overall, our results suggest that the Ag–AV–SF hydrogel we developed has great potential for improving the wound healing in clinical treatment.

Treatment and prevention of infectious complications remain the actual problems of surgery. Purulent complications very often arise in operative interventions with an application of various fixing devices. A study of the adhesive surgical antiseptic (ASA) «ARGAKOL» (Registration certificate № FS 012б2005/1878-05) was completed. The results of the preliminary antimicrobial activity of the developed composition showed that ASA «ARGAKOL» had a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action. There was used the method of twofold serial dilutions in a liquid medium and Cup-suspension. The study of the influence of the ASA «ARGAKOL» on the wound healing was made in the experiment on white outbred rats. There were carried out two series of experiments with 10 rats in each group: on the model of just contaminated wound (the first series) and on the model of infected wound with delayed application of the glue (after 3 days) after trauma (the second series).

Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities of propolis and its ability to stimulate the immune system and promote wound healing make it a proper component for wound dressing materials. Silver nanoparticles are recognized to demonstrate strong antiseptic and antimicrobial activity; thus, it also could be considered in the development of products for wound healing. Combining propolis and silver nanoparticles can result in improved characteristics of products designed for wound healing and care. The aim of this study was to formulate electrospun fast dissolving mats for wound dressing containing propolis ethanolic extract and silver nanoparticles. Produced electrospun nano/microfiber mats were evaluated studying their structure, dissolution rate, release of propolis phenolic compounds and silver nanoparticles, and antimicrobial activity. Biopharmaceutical characterization of electrospun mats demonstrated fast release of propolis phenolic compounds and silver nanoparticles. Evaluation of antimicrobial activity onStaphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis,Enterococcus faecalis,Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Proteus vulgaris,Bacillus subtilis,Bacillus cereus, andCandida albicansstrains confirmed the ability of electrospun mats to inhibit the growth of the tested microorganisms.

Abstract Currently, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was utilized for various life-saving biomedical applications. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of methylcellulose and hyaluronic acid (MC-HA) hydrogels containing AgNPs dressing materials were investigated for their wound healing efficiency to treat surgical excision wounds and the findings were studied and discussed. The effect of the ratio of AgNPs and MC-HA hydrogels on the gelation time, in vitro degradation, and equilibrium swelling of MC-HA/AgNPs hydrogels was examined. The prepared MC-HA hydrogels containing AgNPs were studied using various characterization techniques such as UV–Visible spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The MC-HA/AgNPs showed excellent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. Additionally, the superior wound recovering potential of AgNPs with MC-HA hydrogels compared to conventional formulations was illustrated in vitro in animals utilizing visual observations and histological study. The MC-HA/AgNPs hydrogels showed excellent antimicrobial activity and burn wound healing. Therefore, these MC-HA hydrogels containing AgNPs have great potential medicinal applications in nursing care in children after surgery.

Biofilms hinder wound healing. Medical-grade honey (MGH) is a promising therapy because of its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and the lack of risk for resistance. This study investigated the inhibitory and eradicative activity against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms by different established MGH-based wound care formulations. Six different natural wound care products (Medihoney, Revamil, Mebo, Melladerm, L-Mesitran Ointment, and L-Mesitran Soft) were tested in vitro. Most of them contain MGH only, whereas some were supplemented. L-Mesitran Soft demonstrated the most potent antimicrobial activity (6.08-log inhibition and 3.18-log eradication). Other formulations ranged between 0.89-log and 4.80-log inhibition and 0.65-log and 1.66-log eradication. Therefore, the contribution of different ingredients of L-Mesitran Soft was investigated in more detail. The activity of the same batch of raw MGH (1.38-log inhibition and 2.35-log eradication), vitamins C and E (0.95-log inhibition and 0.94-log eradication), and all ingredients except MGH (1.69-log inhibition and 0.75-log eradication) clearly support a synergistic activity of components within the L-Mesitran Soft formulation. Several presented clinical cases illustrate its clinical antimicrobial efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. In conclusion, MGH is a potent treatment for Pseudomonas biofilms. L-Mesitran Soft has the strongest antimicrobial activity, which is likely due to the synergistic activity mediated by its supplements.
