RETRACTION: Antibiofilm and Antimicrobial Activity of Lactobacillus Cell Free Supernatant Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Burn Wounds

TL;DR
This retracted study claimed that Lactobacillus supernatant could fight Pseudomonas aeruginosa in burn wounds, but the journal retracted it due to flawed peer review and missing consent details.
Contribution
The paper originally introduced a potential natural treatment for Pseudomonas biofilms in burn wounds using Lactobacillus supernatant.
Findings
Lactobacillus cell-free supernatant showed antibiofilm and antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The study suggested a possible alternative to conventional treatments for burn wound infections.
The research lacked proper informed consent procedures, leading to retraction.
