Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the antibacterial properties of LL-37, a cationic peptide, against Staphylococcus aureus, a common infection-causing bacteria, particularly in the context of postoperative femoral fractures.
  • The research compares the effectiveness of LL-37 with Cefalexin, a standard antibiotic, in treating infections in rabbits that had undergone surgery for femoral fracture fixation.
  • Findings showed that LL-37 demonstrated notable inhibitory effects on bacterial biofilms, suggesting its potential as an effective treatment option for surgical infections, particularly in cases complicated by internal fixation.
