Maggot-therapy is the application of disinfected fly larvae to chronic wounds to debride the wound bed of necrotic tissue, reduce bacterial contamination and enhance the formation of healthy granulation tissue. Interest in the use of maggot-therapy in human medicine is growing as a result of the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Maggot therapy, however, is used relatively little in veterinary medicine. Nevertheless, concern over antibiotic resistance and the increase in demand for organic husbandry and residue-free meat and milk, suggest that it is an option which merits further consideration.
蛆虫疗法是将经过消毒的蝇蛆应用于慢性伤口,以清除伤口床的坏死组织、减少细菌污染并促进健康肉芽组织的形成。由于抗生素耐药菌的普遍存在,人类医学中对蛆虫疗法的兴趣正在增加。然而,蛆虫疗法在兽医学中的应用相对较少。尽管如此,对抗生素耐药性的担忧以及对有机畜牧业和无残留肉奶需求的增加,表明这是一个值得进一步考虑的选择。
