Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Improve selection of systemic antibiotics based on results using molecular diagnostics.

    Time frame: 1 year

    The study elucidated diversity, quantification, and other aspects of microbial diversity in chronic wounds. It evaluated samples from different regions, different types of wounds, different outcomes, and longitudinal data if multiple samples were sent over time from a single individual.

Secondary outcomes

  1. 2. Data Collection: The molecular wound cultures have been performed on thousands of patients from around the country. The information from the culture results that were processed were used to compile an antibiogram for a laboratory.

    Time frame: 1 year

    There are many geographic regions which have a number of samples which could be analyzed and compared to other geographic regions yielding valuable insight into the microbiology of chronic wounds.
