Case Series Presentation: This clinical trial study (Case Series) was performed on 20
patients with deep second-degree burns. Patients had bilateral wounds; the wound on
one side of the body was considered as control (treated with silver sulfadiazine) and the
other side of the body as treatment (treated with bacteria-free supernatants (BFS) of L.
plantarum). The wounds were evaluated by microbial assessments and assessments
related to healing. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and
Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from 4 (22.2%), 0%, and 2 (11.1%) of wounds
treated with L. plantarum on the fifth day of the treatment, respectively. Furthermore,
12 (66.7%) of wounds treated with L. plantarum were free from bacteria. The need for
skin grafting was the same in both treatment and control groups, but graft rejection in
the group treated with L. plantarum was (0%) (P=0.02).
Conclusion: Regarding eliminating or reducing infection and wound healing, bacteria-free
supernatants of L. plantarum can be considered a possible topical treatment option in the
case of second-degree burn wounds.
