BIOFILMS ARE 3D structures, and are commonly 0-70 microns below the wound surface
Even wound care experts cannot look at a wound and see if it has a biofilm infection. Biofilms are invisible to the naked eye.
Up to 90% of Chronic Wounds Contain Bacterial Biofilms
Up to 90% of Chronic Wounds Contain Bacterial Biofilms
Biofilms represent chronic infections. Most biofilms contain many different bacteria. These bacteria secrete ExtraPolymeric Substance (EPS), which protects the bacteria and makes them up to 1000x more resistant to antibiotics.
Up to 7% of acute wounds contain biofilms, and 90% of chronic wounds.
Most wound biofilms contain >20 different organisms.
7% of all biofilms are single organism and are either Pseudomonas or Staph aureus
