General Anti-microbial Testing
●
We undertake standard anti-microbial test including:- assessment of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bacteriocidal  Concentration (MBC)
Models of wound Infection
We undertake pre-clinical studies to investigate the impact of anti-infective therapies on infected wounds. Further Information on request
