egg-white and Staphylococcal-Infections

Burn injury is the fourth most common injury worldwide. Deep partial-thickness burns are susceptible to bacterial infections due to the absence of a skin shield, which can lead to severe pain, scarring, and even death. Therefore, developing a wound dressing that can promote wound repair accompanied by excellent antibacterial effects is crucial for clinical application. Herein, a facile self-healing hydroxypropyl chitosan-egg white hydrogel (HPCS-EWH) with excellent biocompatibility, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammation and antibacterial properties was prepared. This physical crosslinking hydrogel was endowed with the intrinsic merits of its parental components, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, antibiosis, and thriving cell growth

We found that the oral administration of active egg white product (AEWP) enhances host resistance to infections. The prophylactic administration of AEWP enhanced nonspecific resistance in mice to systemic infection with E. coli. Moreover, the therapeutic administration of AEWP was effective against S. aureus infection in mice.
