Treatment systems, devices, articles, and associated methods of operation for treating open wounds are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes applying a first material and a second material to be in contact with a surface of the open wound having a water content at the surface and applying a voltage differential to the first and second materials, thereby producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at the surface via an electrochemical reaction between oxygen (O2) in air and water (H2O) in the water content at the surface. The voltage differential is calibrated to correspond to a concentration of the produced hydrogen peroxide in the water content effective in reducing or preventing a bacterial infection at the surface of the open wound.

Electrochemical reduction or prevention of infections

Microcin MccPDI and bacteria harboring the mcpM gene which encodes MccPDI limit growth of and/or kill pathogenic bacteria such as pathogenic() and/orbacteria via proximity-dependent inhibition (PDI).

Microcin and uses thereof

Microcin MccPDI and bacteria harboring the mcpM gene which encodes MccPDI, limit growth of and/or kill pathogenic bacteria such as pathogenic() and/orbacteria via proximity-dependent inhibition (PDl).
