Hydrogen-peroxide generating electrochemical bandage is active in vitro against mono- and dual-species biofilms.

ABSTRACT: Biofilms formed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wound beds present unique challenges in terms of treating chronic wound infections; biofilms formed by one or more than one bacterial species are often involved. In this work, the in vitro anti-biofilm activity of a novel electrochemical bandage (e-bandage) composed of carbon fabric and controlled by a wearable potentiostat, designed to continuously deliver low amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was evaluated against 34 mono-species and 12 dual-species membrane bacterial biofilms formed by Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Enterococcus faecium, E. faecalis, Streptococcus mutans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, K
