d-mannose:
The following underlined terms give information when googled with d-mannose:
Proven to be effective with bacteria causing most urinary tract infections, used in equine veterinary reproductive lavage-notably during artificial insemination procedures, and as an aid in treating wounds.

"Action:
This nutritional solution for wound healing is based on research which showed normal or beneficial bacteria of the skin and mucous membranes inhibit pathogenic bacteria. It was demonstrated that monosaccharide sugars and their metabolites were involved with this natural inhibition of pathogenic bacteria by the normal bacterial flora. (1) Further research showed that monosaccharide sugars and their metabolites seemingly increased vascularization and circulation to injured tissues and significantly accelerated the healing of wounds. (2) Recent research by other workers has confirmed that specific sugars can indeed prevent pathogenic bacteria from infecting mucosal and epithelial cells(3) and significantly stimulate wound healing. (4)
Woundade for other animals:
The horse was used as a model for the development of Woundade . The use of the horse as a model was beneficial as wounds of horses are the most difficult to heal of all animals,....... Therefore, the use of Woundade for fresh wounds of all other animals seemingly heals equal to or faster than in horses.
Woundade for Dogs and Cats:
Woundade has been shown to enhance the healing of surgical wounds. In addition to surgical and traumatic fresh wounds, veterinary clinicians have reported excellent results in healing of chronic wounds that fail to heal by conventional therapies..... Pet Wound Healing information:
The mechanism of action by which Woundade enhances the natural healing of horse wounds is unknown. The healing of wounds is complicated and involves a series of steps with several cell types releasing growth factors that promote and maintain the vascular system to damaged tissues. Tissues deprived of adequate circulation will not heal properly and are more likely to become infected with pathogenic bacteria and fungi that further compromise the healing of wounds.
Woundade has been proven for more than 30 years.
Wound healing involves three essential phases. First, the contraction of injured tissues occurs to close the wound. The second phase is neovascularization, fibroplasia or granulation to remodel and replace lost tissues. The final phase is epithelization and contraction of skin. Pathogenic bacteria, fungi, or inhibitory substances like antimicrobials or disinfectants, and anti-inflammatory agents may interfere with any phase of healing. Woundade has been shown to enhance all three phases of the natural wound healing process. Wounds of the skin and subcutaneous tissues are sites where pathogenic bacteria can enter the blood stream and may produce systemic infections. Rapid wound healing is of utmost importance as there is currently an emergence of numerous antimicrobial resistant strains of super-bacteria and fungi that may be resistant to all antimicrobials. Woundade is formulated with proprietary monosaccharide sugars that provide a natural barrier against pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and also enhance the healing of wounds.
Indications:
Woundade can be applied to wounds of all types including burns, surgical incisions, cuts and trauma, and can be applied to the skin, oral mucosa, gingiva, cornea and mucous membranes of the eyes, subcutaneous tissues and muscles. Apply Woundade immediately after an injury, especially wounds caused by burns. Also, Woundade may be used to accelerate the healing of infected and chronic wounds. In chronic wounds, there may be excessive granulation tissue which should be surgically removed, and then apply Woundade immediately to the fresh wound.
Dosage and administration:
Apply Woundade two to three times daily. For more rapid healing of fresh wounds, Woundade may be applied more often. Woundade may be used with or without bandages. For optimal healing, the wound should be left open to fresh air, cleansed and debrided only with sterile water or saline. Woundade has been formulated to be used alone on wounds and should not be used with any other material that may inhibit wound healing or promote super-bacterial infections.
Side effects:
There are no known side effects. Animals may have a desire to lick the solution from the wounds as they may be attracted to the sugars and salts. This may be desirable in some cases as they are naturally debriding the wound. The sugars and salts in the solution are natural dietary ingredients and are not harmful if swallowed in small amounts....

There may be potential for use in fish, when they have wounds or external parasite tissue insults, by mixing in tank water.

I don't think it would inhibit biologic filtration, as it's efficacy is at the point of attachment to bacteria with tissues .
