For the treatment of chronic wounds, acid-oxidizing solutions (AOSs) with broad-spectrum microbicidal activity without disturbing granulation tissue formation, have been developed. We found AOSs to efficiently killMycobacterium ulcerans , the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, which is able to survive harsh decontamination treatments.
