Abstract

    Antimicrobial therapy failure against wound infections and arise of extended resistance highly encourages the discovery of novel mechanisms to overcome underlying issues. Major causative agent for causing wound infection is "Staphylococcus aureus" and recent medications lack antibacterial action,mucoadhesion and patient compliance. Thiolation proves itself as a novel technique for treatment of wou... Details
