11Silver has been incorporated into a variety of wound dressings and topical agents to prevent and 12 combat wound infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of burn wound 13 infections and well-known biofilm producer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the 14 effects of a panel of wound dressings containing different silver formulations on P. aeruginosa 15 biofilms using an in vivo porcine burn wound model. Second-degree burns were created on the 16 skin of specific pathogen-free pigs (n = 3) and inoculated with 2.14 × 10 5 cfu P. aeruginosa per 17 wound. Biofilms were allowed to develop for 24 h, and then each wound was treated with one of 18 6 treatments: silver oxynitrate dressing (OXY), silver oxynitrate powder (POWD), 19 nanocrystalline silver dressing (NANO), silver chloride dressing (AGCL), silver sulfadiazine 20 (SSD), or a negative control polyurethane film with no silver-based formulation (NEG). 21Wounds were cultured at D3 post-infection (n = 3 per pig per treatment) and at D6 post-infection 22 (n = 3 per pig per treatment) for quantification of bacteria. On D6, biopsies (n = 3 per treatment) 23were taken from POWD, SSD, and NEG wounds and wound healing progress was evaluated 24 histologically. At the time of treatment initiation, 24 h post-infection, 8.71 log cfu P. aeruginosa 25 were present in burn wounds. On D3 and D6, all treatments significantly reduced bacterial 26 counts in wounds as compared to NEG, but POWD caused an approximately 7-log reduction in 27 bacterial counts on both days and was the only treatment to reduce the bacterial counts to below 28 the threshold for detecting bacteria. The OXY, NANO, and SSD treatments had similar 29 reductions in bacterial recovery on D3 and D6 of approximately 2.5-4 log. The histological 30 healing metrics of reepithelialization percentage, epithelial thickness, white cell infiltration, 31 angiogenesis, and granulation tissue formation were similar among wounds from POWD, SSD, 32 and NEG groups at 6 days post-infection. Silver oxynitrate powder reduced P. aeruginosa 33 growth in burn wounds more effectively than other silver-based dressings but did not impact 34 wound healing. 35
