• The wound microbiota: microbial mechanisms of impaired wound healing and infection (2024, neutral): “Other sources for contaminating microorganisms may be exogenous (that is, the environment) or endogenous (that is, members of the gut, oral or genital microbiome) 12 and depend on the type of injury and location on the body 13 .”
• Biofilms in chronic wounds (2008, background): “aureus and wound infection has not been shown.(12,20) The staphylococci are also well-known biofilm formers.”
• Survey of bacterial diversity in chronic wounds using Pyrosequencing, DGGE, and full ribosome shotgun sequencing (2008, neutral): “Using animal models it has also been shown that mixtures of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria have been shown to produce disease states which cannot be reproduced by the individual species alone [61,101-104,104,105].”
• Diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot infections. (2004, background): “Cultures of specimens obtained from patients with such mixed infections generally yield 3–5 isolates, including gram-positive and gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes [14, 34, 37, 38, 40, 41, 52–58].”
• Treatment Strategies for Infected Wounds (2018, background): “Although bacteria are a common part of the intact skin microbiota and wounds, a critical threshold of existing bacteria and the formation of a biofilm may impede wound healing [3].”
• Treating the chronic wound: A practical approach to the care of nonhealing wounds and wound care dressings. (2008, background): “Infections of chronic wounds are often polymicrobial, with Staphylococcus aureus and anaerobes among the most common pathogens.(74,75) Whenever possible, clinically infected wounds should be cultured and microorganism sensitivities determined before systemic antimicrobial agents are prescribed.”
• Drug Delivery Systems and Materials for Wound Healing Applications (2018, positive): “Advanced wound dressing should primarily aim to prevent bacterial infection by adequate sealing of the wound micro-environment from external contaminants [46].”
• Wound bed preparation: a systematic approach to wound management (2003, background): “As the wound deteriorates and deeper structures become involved, anaerobic flora become part of the local microbial population.(64) Wounds of several months’ duration will have on average four to five different microbial pathogens including anaerobic and aerobic gram-negative rods, which are often d”
• Microbial Biofilm: A Review on Formation, Infection, Antibiotic Resistance, Control Measures, and Innovative Treatment (2023, positive): “As aerobic bacteria create biofilms on the exterior of deep wounds, anaerobic bacteria invade the interior [68,69].”
