Abstract

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum cells were encapsulated in a mixture of cationic and anionic polymers, with the final composition stabilized through freeze-drying. A D-optimal design was used to examine the effects of different polymer concentrations as well as adding prebiotics on the probiotic viability and swelling behavior of the formulations. Scanning electron micrographs revealed stacked particles capable of rapidly absorbing significant amounts of water. These images corresponded to initial swelling percentages of around 2000% for the optimal formulation. The optimized formula had a viability percentage of more than 82%, with the stability studies suggesting that the powders should be stored at refrigerated temperatures. The physical characteristics of the optimized formula were examined to ensure compatibility with its application. According to antimicrobial evaluations, the difference in pathogen inhibition between formulated and fresh probiotics was less than a logarithm. The final formula was tested in vivo and showed improved wound healing indicators. The optimized formula resulted in a higher rate of wound closure and infection clearance. Furthermore, the molecular studies for oxidative stress indicated that the formula could modify wound inflammatory responses. In histological investigations, the probiotic-loaded particles functioned exactly as efficaciously as silver sulfadiazine ointment did.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
