Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity and Healing Potential of Mucous Secretion of Achatina fulica

Achatina fulica's secretion has been recently related to antibacterial, antifungal, and cicatricial properties, and it is influenced by the kind of food offered. Therefore, this study investigated the healing potential of dressing films based on mucous secretion of Achatina fulica. Thus, surgic...
