Abstract :
Wound healing is multifactorial event with wound bed preparation (WBP) being the most important part of it. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant cause of wound infections delaying the process of WBP. The growth of pseudomonas is suppressed in acidic media. Vinegar (acetic acid) has been in use to provide acidic media to suppress the growth of pseudomonas. Citrus group of fruits such as lemon, orange and grapes are rich source of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and citric acid.
