Abstract
Nowadays, there is an increasing knowledge that probiotic bacteria, topically applied, affects skin pathology. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect on wound healing of locally applied probiotics by calculating the 3-D configuration of a standardized excisional wound. Fifty-two male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into groups: control, PRO1 [L. plantarum] and PRO2 [L. rhamnosus, B. longum]. Six excisional full-thickness wounds were created on each dorsum by an 8-mm circular biopsy punch; probiotics or saline were applied on days 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, photos of the wounds taken and specimens excised for histology [4 rats/group/time-point]. Both probiotic-groups exhibited accelerated healing significantly faster than the control, throughout, PRO2 exhibiting finally the best results [day 16]. However, only on day 2, did PRO1 exhibit the best results [wounded area, borders distance and epitheliazation line]. The results clearly demonstrate that the topical application of probiotics significantly improves the healing process, each strain working differently and more effectively in different healing phases. Thus, a combined formula containing different probiotics to modulate various healing phases is desirable. To this end our research continous.
