Development of a tri-species wound model for studying fungal-bacterial
interactions and antimicrobial therapies
The researchers show innovative in vitro model that incorporate both bacterial and fungal species in a wound-relevant environment, addressing a critical gap in current biofilm research. The newly developed model contained the commonly isolated wound bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, and the fungus Candida albicans. Inter-species interactions were investigated through selective plate counting and pH and oxygen measurements, as well as confocal microscopy.
