Influence of microbiome species in hard-to-heal wounds on disease severity and treatment duration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infections, mostly those associated with colonization of wound by different pathogenic microorganisms, are one of the most serious health complications during a medical treatment. Therefore, this study is focused on the isolation, characterization, and identification of microorganisms prevalent in superficial wounds of patients (n=50) presenting with bacterial infection.

Methods

After successful cultivation, bacteria were processed and analyzed. Initially the identification of the strains was performed through matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry based on comparison of protein profiles (2-30kDa) with database. Subsequently, bacterial strains from infected wounds were identified by both matrix-assisted laser desorption/ioniza
