The Wound Microbiome: Modern Approaches to Examining the Role of Microorganisms in Impaired Chronic Wound Healing
Open accessAbstract
Longitudinal studies employing serial sampling are needed to appreciate the role of the dynamic microbial community in chronic wound healing. The value of clinical metadata needs to be examined as potential biomarkers of problematic microbiota and wound outcomes. Lastly, better characterization and understanding of wound microbiomes will open avenues for improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools for the nonhealing wound.

Hormones, particularly estrogens and androgens, are contributing factors in aging and have been implicated as regulators of wound healing in experimental models and patients.
“Hormones, particularly estrogens and androgens, are contributing factors in aging and have been implicated as regulators of wound healing in experimental models and patients (112, 163, 172, 173).”

Polymicrobial presence (bioburden) is well documented in chronic wounds and can play a major role in impaired wound healing even without clinical signs of infection.
“Polymicrobial presence (bioburden) has been well documented in chronic wounds and can play a major role in impaired wound healing, even in the absence of clinical signs of infection (Fig. 3) (163, 165).”

Obligate anaerobes Bacteroides, Peptoniphilus, Finegoldia, Anaerococcus, and Peptostreptococcus spp. have been identified in chronic wounds.
“In addition, obligate anaerobes Bacteroides, Peptoniphilus, Finegoldia, Anaerococcus, and Peptostreptococcus spp. have also been identified [reviewed in (163)].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
