Nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and costly complication of diabetes.
Microbial burden, or “bioburden,” is believed to underlie delayed healing, although little is …

Chronic wounds are a major complication of diabetes associated with high morbidity and
health care expenditures. To investigate the role of colonizing microbiota in diabetic wound …

We used next generation DNA sequencing to profile the microbiome of infected Diabetic
Foot Ulcers (DFUs). The microbiota was correlated to clinical parameters and treatment …

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are associated with reduced
patient quality of life, lower-extremity amputation, hospitalization, and high morbidity and …

Background The aim of this study was to characterise the microbiome of new and recurrent
diabetic foot ulcers using 16S amplicon sequencing (16S AS), allowing the identification of a …

Significance: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a major and growing public health problem.
They pose difficulties in clinical practice in both diagnosis and management. Bacterial …

Background Diabetic extremity ulcers are associated with chronic infections. Such ulcer
infections are too often followed by amputation because there is little or no understanding of …

Wound healing is a highly coordinated and complex process, and there can be devastating
consequences if it is interrupted. It is believed that, in combination with host factors …

The identification and diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) infections remains a complex
problem. Because inflammatory responses to microbial invasion may be diminished in …

World Health Organization considered diabetes as one of the 20th century epidemics,
