Not to take anything away from the accomplishment (we definitely need more research on antibiotics), but the wound healing experiment is IMO just sloppy: they compared a infected wound treated using the peptide to an untreated wound. I could imagine that even a basic wound desinfection using rubbing alcohol will have comparative results to this peptide.

But if your question is "does this increase the speed of healing at all?" as a first test before later, more complex experiments, then this seems fine to me.
