Abstract

Chronic wounds are frequently complicated by bacterial biofilm formation, which significantly impairs healing and reduces the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of commonly used topical antimicrobial agents against multidrug-resistant wound pathogens in relation to the timing of their application and the stage of biofilm development.
