Abstract

Given the rising threat of antibiotic resistance worldwide, it is crucial to explore alternatives or complementary treatments to antibiotics. Wound care is a significant aspect of emergency care, day clinics, and elderly care. Managing chronic ulcers, such as diabetic foot ulcers and leg ulcers, often incurs high costs [1]. Many patients with wound colonization automatically receive antibiotics [2]. However, alternative therapies have shown potential to significantly reduce the need for antibiotic treatment, as indicated by results from the Swedish National Quality Register for chronic ulcers [3].
