Probiotics in skin wound healing

Immediately after wounding, microbial colonization occurs. The effects of microbial wound colonization on healing process are particularly important and therefore, based on the significant economic and social impact of wounds, a higher level of research is needed to evaluate the potential new therapeutic agents that can lead to wound healing acceleration.Today, bacteriotherapy is a promising way to fight infections by employing harmless bacteria to displace pathogenic microbes. Probiotics are among these new agents which are widely used and extensively studied for treatment of wound infections. Probiotics have the ability to strengthen the immune system, produce anti-inflammatory action and enhance wound healing process following accumulation of inflammatory cells in the site of wound.
