(Englischsprachig) EB and Biofilm: is there a connection?
Epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, is the name of a group of rare, inherited skin conditions that result in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. A recent study conducted by webinar hosts Sharon Cassidy and Matthew Malone has explored the possible connections between EB and biofilms.
This March 11th webinar discusses the results of this collaborative study, examining how biofilms seem to affect EB wound treatment. The webinar also covers:
- An overview of EB and associated wounds
- An overview of biofilm and the impact on human health
- Why biofilms are so tolerant
- EB wound treatment options
