Growing bacteria to simulate a wound?

Post by anagra »

Hello. How can I grow bacteria to act and display as a fake wound on the human body to do a test on? Thanks

Hi anagra,

This sounds interesting. May I ask why you want to do this?
Do you want to simulate skin infection, or just any bacterial growth that you'd get in an open wound?
If infection, then you have to look at specific bacteria. Here's a list -> https://labtestsonline.org/understandin ... s/start/1/

If any bacteria, then, well, there's a TON. Maybe if you tell us what your specific goals are we can tailor the list.
