Aim: Chronic wound infections present a prevalent medical issue and a multifaceted problem that significantly impacts healthcare systems worldwide. Biofilms formed by pathogenic bacteria are fundamental virulence factors implicated in the complexity and persistence of bacterial-associated wound infections, leading to prolonged recovery times and increased risk of infection. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial effectiveness of commonly employed bioactive wound healing compositions with a particular emphasis on their effectiveness against common bacterial pathogens encountered in chronic wounds - , , and to identify optimal wound product composition for managing chronic wound infections.

Space-fractional diffusion equations find widespread application in nature. They govern the anomalous dynamics of many stochastic processes, generalizing the standard diffusion equation to superdiffusive behavior. Strikingly, the solution of space-fractional diffusion equations on bounded domains is still an open problem.
