Harnessing Molecular Techniques to Identify Wound Microbes

Pressure wounds are a growing healthcare issue, and accurate characterization is necessary for appropriate treatment.

Share

Skin wounds and sores, such as diabetic foot sores and pressure wounds, present a growing healthcare problem. These injuries are exacerbated by co-morbidities affecting circulation and healing responses, as well as by limitations to an individual’s mobility. As such, they are particularly prevalent in hospital and long-term care settings. Combatting these wounds involves both managing the exposed tissue and treating any infection using topical and/or systemic antibiotics. Characterizing the bacterial composition of the skin microbiome, as well as infected wounds, is paramount for effective treatment and to prevent further antibiotic resistance.
