Assessment and Monitoring of the Wound Micro-Environment in Chronic Wounds Using Standardized Wound Swabbing for Individualized Diagnostics and Targeted Interventions.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Patient-specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are important in the care of people with chronic wounds. The heterogeneity of underlying disease profiles and the diversity of the wound micro-environment make generalized approaches difficult. While high-throughput molecular diagnostic methods are increasingly widespread and available, the analysis of objective biomolecular disease patterns has not found its way into everyday wound management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of wound swab samples for the analysis of biomarkers and disease patterns in people with chronic wounds. Methods: A sample cohort from the multicenter "Wound-BIOME" project was analyzed. The project aims to comprehensively investigate the local micro-environment of
