Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) are biocides used for cleaning and debriding chronic wound infections, which often harbor drug-resistant bacteria. Here, we evaluated the in vitro activity of H 2 O 2 and HOCl against 27 isolates of eight bacterial species involved in wound infections.
