or maggot debridement therapy or larval therapy is a complementary –
integrative medicinal method that it has proven utilities especially in chronic
wound care. The method nearly provides every activity desired from a wound
care. Its modes of action can be divided into four major titles; i) Mechanic debridement,
ii) Antimicrobial action, iii) Directing the tissue to wound healing, iv)
Biofilm degradation. Furthermore, many isolated proteins from maggots showing
various activities give a potential for future drugs. For now, whole effect
mechanisms remain unclear and this therapy is not used as a single treatment
method; it is actually a part of multidisciplinary approach to wound care. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={MediHealth Academy Yayıncılık}
