A wound biofilm model was created by adapting a superficial infection model. Partial-thickness murine wounds were inoculated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Dense biofilm communities developed at the wound surface after 24 h as demonstrated by microscopy and quantitative microbiology. Common topical antimicrobial agents had reduced efficacy when treatment was initiated 24 h after inoculation compared to 4 h after inoculation. This model provides a rapid in vivo test for new agents to treat wound biofilm infections.
一种创伤生物膜模型是通过改编一种浅表感染模型而创建的。部分厚度的小鼠创伤用耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)接种。在 24 小时后,显微镜和定量微生物学显示,在创伤表面形成了密集的生物膜群落。与接种后 4 小时相比,当治疗在接种后 24 小时开始时,常见的局部抗菌剂的疗效降低。该模型为治疗创伤生物膜感染的新药物提供了一种快速的体内测试方法。
