Description

The treatment of chronic infected wounds with medicinal fry larvae (maggot therapy) is often used when conventional medical and surgical treatments fail to heal the chronic wounds. Maggot therapy is effective for debriding for necrotic tissue and for antibiotic-resistant infected wounds. Maggot excretions and secretions contain molecules which not only kill bacteria directly, but also dissolve bacterial biofilm and inhibit formation of biofilm.
