Current microbiome investigations of patients with pressure ulcers (PU) are mainly based on
wound swabs and/or biopsy sequencing, leaving the colonization scenario unclear. Urinary …

Bacterial species and their role in delaying the healing of pressure ulcers (PU) in spinal cord
injury (SCI) patients have not been well described. This pilot study aimed to characterise the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Microbial infections in chronic wounds can often lead to lower-
limb amputation, decrease in quality of life, and increase in mortality rate, and there is an …

Wound infection is a life-threatening problem in pressure ulcers and still develops despite
interventions to reduce bioburden on wounds and periwound skin. We focused on the bed …

Chronic wounds are wounds that have failed to heal after 3 months of appropriate wound
care. Previous reports have identified a diverse collection of bacteria in chronic wounds, and …

Controlling for sample site is considered to be an important aspect of chronic wound
microbiological investigations; yet, macroscale spatial variation in wound microbiota has not …

Background Decubitus ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure ulcers, affect millions of
hospitalized patients each year. The microflora of chronic wounds such as ulcers most …

The extent to which microorganisms impair wound healing is an ongoing controversy in the
management of chronic wounds. Because the high diversity and extreme variability of the …

Aim: Wound infection is a life-threatening complication of pressure injuries (PIs) and is not
