Abstract:
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising material for wound dressing due to its predominant water binding capacity, mechanical property, biodegradability, and histocompatibility. Whereas BC itself exhibits no antimicrobial activity. To gain antimicrobial activity, several kinds of antibacterial agents have been introduced into BC. However, all of the antibacterial composite dressings are still in the stage of experimental research. In this paper, the types, antibacterial mechanism, and shortcomings of antibacterial composite dressings based on BC are summarized, in order to make prospects of the research trends of antibacterial composite dressings based on BC in future.
