Biofilm Consensus Guidelines

10 experts, 10 recommendations, 1 consensus

10 global biofilm experts across scientific and clinical disciplines have agreed on a series of recommendations designed to add clarity and guidance to core issues in wound biofilm understanding, diagnosis and treatment.

Why is a consensus needed?

• Conflicting opinion around biofilm in chronic wounds may lead to inappropriate treatment
• Clarification to separate fact from fiction and increase biofilm understanding
• Scientific understanding of biofilm needs to be combined with clinical reality
• Clear recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of biofilm in chronic wounds
• Key criteria to determine the most effective anti-biofilm treatments
