Wound aetiology, host characteristics and the wound microbiome contribute to chronic development. Yet, there is little accounting for relative importance of these factors predict healing. Here, a structural equation model was developed provide such an explanatory predictive framework. Chronic wounds from 565 patients treated at clinic practicing biofilm-based care were included. Patient information included DNA sequencing-based clinical reports corresponding initial visit. data integrated...
There is a paucity of data regarding the bacterial colonization on artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) devices following revision surgery. We aim to evaluate microbial compositions explanted AUS identified standard culture at our institution.Twenty-three were included in this study. During surgery, aerobic and anaerobic swabs are taken from implant, capsule, fluid surrounding device, biofilm, if present. Culture specimens sent hospital laboratory for routine evaluation immediately upon case...
