Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Understanding the formation of bacterial biofilm and the mechanism of bacterial biofilm on wound healing, and preventing the influence of bacterial biofilm on wound healing, play a crucial role on improving the healing rate of chronic wounds.
OBJECTIVE: To review the mechanism of bacterial biofilm on wound healing, and the current nursing strategy.
METHODS: A computer-based retrieval of Springerlink and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database was performed for articles published between 2008 and 2013. The key words are “bacterial biofilm, chronic wound infection” in English and Chinese. Articles about the wound infection nursing and bacterial biofilm treatment were reviewed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Growing evidence have shown that, pathogenic bacteria or opportunistic pathogen caused chronic wound infection is related to the formation of bacterial biofilm, which is one of the most important reasons of chronic wound non-healing. The mechanism of the bacterial biofilm formation is complicated. Standard procedure, environmental management, rational use of antibiotics, timely debridement can prevent the formation of bacterial biofilm. Treatment methods for preventing the formation of bacterial biofilm include ultrasonic treatment, negative pressure treatment, phage therapy, lactoferrin, gallium nitrate, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, newtol, bee honey, traditional Chinese medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and so on.
