Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, due to the abuse of antibiotics, maggot debridement therapy (MDT) has returned to people's eyesight. The debridement efficiency and accuracy of MDT is better than that of any surgeons. In addition, MDT has good antibacterial and healing effects. It can effectively fight resistant bacteria and promote healing of refractory wounds. In the past few decades, research on the mechanisms of MDT has not been clear enough. This article reviewed recent advances in the mechanisms of debridement, antibacterial and healing of MDT.;

Key words: Maggot debridement therapy, Debridement, Anti-microbiol
