Enhanced Biofilm Eradication and Reduced Cytotoxicity of a Novel Polygalacturonic and Caprylic Acid Wound Ointment Compared with Common Antiseptic Ointments

<div>Eradication of biofilms from representative infectious pathogens <i>Candida albicans</i>, multidrug-resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, and methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) by 1% polygalacturonic acid+0.4% caprylic acid (PG+CAP) wound ointment compared with commercially used ointments after 2 hours of exposure. Nonantimicrobial ointment base and nontreated disks were used as controls. Data are presented as the median recovered viable colonies; bars indicate the range.</div>
