  "summary": "Chronic wounds (principally pressure sores, venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers) are a drain on global health services and remain a major area of unmet clinical need. Chronic wounds are characterised by a bacterial biofilm (densely aggregated colonies of bacteria encased by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances), which hinders innate immune response and can prevent wound healing.…",
