Project overview
National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), UK. Proof of Concept (POC) Round 1 (Research Grant). £56,000 (£45,000 from NBIC, £11,000 from Smith and Nephew).
Wounds that don’t heal are associated with bacteria in communities known as biofilms which are resistant to antibiotics. We have shown that low dose nitric oxide can help disperse lung biofilms win patients with cystic fibrosis. This project will test whether nitric oxide can also disperse biofilms from infected wounds.
