Wound care applications of fungal endophyte metabolite-based electrospun fibres

<p dir="ltr">This research focused on developing advanced wound dressings using antibacterial compounds derived from endophytic fungi, which are defined as microbes colonizing the internal tissue of plants. These fungi, sourced from native Australian plants informed by traditional Indigenous knowledge, offer a sustainable solution to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. By incorporating these compounds into polycaprolactone nanofibre mats, novel wound dressings were created with antibacterial properties. This innovation could lead to more effective, sustainable wound care products and help reduce the growing global impact of antimicrobial resistance, benefiting both the healthcare system and society at large.</p>
