Abstract:
The antibiofilm activity of a hypochlorous acid (HOCl)-producing electrochemical bandage (e-bandage) was assessed against 14 yeast isolates in vitro. The evaluated e-bandage was polarized at +1.5 VAg/AgCl to allow continuous production of HOCl. Time-dependent decreases in the biofilm CFU counts were observed for all isolates with e-bandage treatment. The results suggest that the described HOCl-producing e-bandage could serve as a potential alternative to traditional antifungal wound biofilm treatments.
