Abstract | Using bacteriophages to overcome the increasing resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics is a novel research venue of clinical importance. Among other challenges, this technique is expected to create and maintain an adequate local concentration of bacteriophages at the site of application. In addition, the possibility of combining the phage preparation with antioxidants and anesthetics may provide new options for stimulating the reparative process. Materials and methods: A technique for incorporating bacteriophages into the complex hydrogel wound dressing Results: In all samples containing bacteriophages, the presence of viable and lytically active phages was noted within 1 to 7 days, as evidenced by the "negative colonies" on the culture lawns. On days 1 to 3, no secondary growth was recorded in the phage-containing samples. In hydrogel samples containing phages, succinic acid, and lidocaine, secondary bacterial colonies were detected starting from day 4 indicating some reduction in the lytic activity. Conclusion: The results suggest that bacteriophages immobilized in the hydrogel maintain their viability and lytic activity, and this activity persists when the phages are combined with succinic acid and lidocaine. |
