Abstract:Wound contamination and subsequent colonization by microbes can significantly impair tissue repair and lead to the development of chronic non-healing ulcers. Atypical Burkholderia and Actinomycetes bacterial species are common in cases of soil contamination of open wounds leading to a complex infection that is both difficult to diagnose and treat. Despite much research on the involvement of atypical organisms, including Burkholderia and Actinomycetes, in antibiotic resistance, there is no consensus on the time… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
