PADM@MgC demonstrates increased effectiveness in facilitating the healing of infected wounds in vivo. (a) Illustration of the model for mouse excisional wound infection and the experimental methods. (b) Representative photographic images of wounds in different groups after 0, 1, 4, 7, or 10 days of treatment. (c) Day 0 (blue), day 1 (orange), day 4 (purple), day 7 (yellow), and day 10 (green) explanatory photos of the wounds, as well as superimposed photos of treatment with various PADM-based hydrogels. (d) Area of unhealed wounds in each group at different time periods. (e) Bacterial counts in the wounds of the different treatment groups. Results are presented as mean ± SD (N = 3). **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001
