Characterization of bacterial communities in venous insufficiency wounds using conventional culture and molecular diagnostic methods

Tuttle MS et al. – Baseline wound surface area, duration, or analysis by Ibis or conventional culture did not reveal significant differences between wounds that healed by six months and those that did not. Thus, pyrosequencing identified distinctive baseline characteristics of wounds that did not heal at six–month follow–up, furthering the understanding of potentially unique microbiome characteristics of chronic wounds.
