Improving anti-hemolytic, antibacterial and wound healing properties of alginate fibrous wound dressings by exchanging counter-cation for infected full-thickness skin wounds

Nowadays, considerable effort is made to overcome bacterial diseases and combat bacterial resistance. In this context, development of safe and efficient antimicrobial wound dressings which can selectively fight against the bacteria and decrease disruption of normal cells such as red blood cells in wound bed is highly required. In this study, a series of ammonium salts of alginate were prepared and the role of different counter-cations including...
