简介
- Objective: To assess the incidence, abundance and species diversity of fungi in chronic wounds, as well as to describe the associations of major fungi populations.
- Method: Comprehensive molecular diagnostic reports were evaluated from a total of 915 chronic wounds in a retrospective study.
- Results: Of the 915 clinical specimens, 208 (23%) were positive for fungal species. These samples were further compared in a compiled dataset, and sub-classified among the four major chronic wound types (decubitus ulcer, diabetic foot ulcer, non-healing surgical wound, and venous leg ulcer). The most abundant fungi were yeasts in the genus Candida; however, Curvularia, Malessezia, Aureobasidium, Cladosporium, Ulocladium, Engodontium and Trichtophyton were also found to be prevalent components of these polymicrobial infections. A notable bacterial/fungal negative correlation was found to be apparent between …
