Bacterium May Boost Healing of Diabetic Wounds
Alcaligenes faecalis (A. faecalis) may facilitate healing of hard-to-treat wounds among people with diabetes, according to new research. The researchers found that using A. faecalis to inoculate diabetic mice, which have wound healing defects, led to accelerated wound healing with no signs of infection. Next, they learned introducing A. faecalis to wounds caused keratinocytes to proliferate and migrate to close […]
