Abstract

Maggot in the treatment of wound is very old therapy before discovery of antibiotics. The therapies become remerge in the field of therapeutics once antibiotic resistance developed. The potential of maggot therapy has become explored and the candidate species for this biotherapy have been categorized for various molecules and for simulating properties of excretory and secretary product of maggot. Recent report of maggot debridement therapy on its reduction of bacterial bioburden in chronic wound, diabetic wound and reduction of oxidative stress get much attention to take this biotherapy on hand again. Evidence of maggot induced tissue growth or wound healing is observed both at laboratory and clinical studies and suggested both mechanical and biochemical pathways. Thus the review highlighted the properties of maggot therapy in bionolecular basis in controlling bacterial bioburden in wound of human and animal origin.
