The present invention is directed to a wound or tissue dressing comprising a bacteria having the property of producing lactic acid from sugars by fermentation of the sugars. The bacteria preferably belongs to the family of lactic acid bacteria. The family of lactic acid bacteria refers to any bacteria belonging to a genus selected from the group consisting of Carnobacterium, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Oenococcus, Pediococcus, Streptococcus, Tetragenococcus, Vagococcus and Weissella. There is also provided a wound or tissue dressing comprising an absorbent compound for absorbing wound exudate, wherein said wound or tissue dressing is attached to or comprises a lactic acid bacterium. The utility of the present invention is demonstrated by use of the wound or tissue dressings in methods for treating a wound or damaged tissue in an individual, said method comprising the steps of contacting said wound or damaged tissue with the wound or tissue dressing according to the invention, thereby treating the wound or damaged tissue. The treatment results in healing of the wound or in accelerated healing of the wound. There is also provided the use of a lactic acid bacteria in the manufacture of a wound or tissue dressing for treating or accelerating the healing of a wound in an individual.
A wound or tissue dressing comprising lactic acid producing bacteria, said dressing comprising an absorbent compound for absorbing wound exudate, wherein the absorbent compound and the lactic acid producing bacteria are present in different compartments of the dressing, wherein the lactic acid producing bacteria, or their metabolites, can migrate from the compartment containing the lactic acid producing bacteria to the wound environment.

A method for manufacturing a wound or tissue dressing for treating a wound or tissue or accelerating the healing of a wound or tissue in an individual comprising the steps of:
A method for manufacturing an absorbent compound of a wound or tissue dressing for treating a wound or tissue or accelerating the healing of a wound or tissue in an individual comprising the steps of:
A method for manufacturing a wound or tissue dressing for preventing or reducing the risk of wound or tissue infection in an individual having suffered a wound comprising the steps of:
A method for manufacturing a wound or tissue dressing for promoting haemostasis in a wound in an individual comprising the steps of:
A wound or tissue dressing comprising lactic acid producing bacteria, said dressing comprising an absorbent compound for absorbing wound exudate, wherein the absorbent compound and the lactic acid producing bacteria are present in different compartments of the dressing, wherein the lactic acid producing bacteria, or their metabolites, can migrate from the compartment containing the lactic acid producing bacteria to the wound environment, said wound or tissue dressing being for treating a wound or tissue or accelerating the healing of a wound or tissue in an individual, for preventing or reducing the risk of wound or tissue infection in an individual having suffered a wound, or for promoting haemostasis in a wound in an individual.
