Metataxonomic approach to decipher the polymicrobial burden in diabetic foot ulcer and its biofilm mode of infection

Abstract: Chronic diabetic foot is a global burden affecting millions of people, and the chronicity of an ulcer is directly linked to the diverse bacterial burden and its biofilm mode of infection. The bacterial diversity of 100 chronic diabetic ulcer samples was profiled via traditional culturing method as well as metagenomic approach by sequencing the 16S rRNA V3 hyper-variable region on Illumina Miseq Platform (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA). All the relevant clinical metadata, including duration of diabetes, grade o… Show more

“…However, their effectiveness in capturing the entire repertoire of microbes and especially strict anaerobes is highly debated (16). Bacteria are rarely found as monomicrobial entities and, as the wound progresses, the presence of necrotic tissue as well as a poor supply of oxygen and significant biofilm production favors the growth of facultative or obligate anaerobes (5,17). In our NGS study, a steady increase in facultative anaerobes was observed as the wound progressed, with the exception of WG5.…”

“…Identification of pathogenic bacteria is the first essential step to monitor and control the etiology of DFIs accurately (Sadeghpour Heravi et al, 2019). However, a large portion of bacterial species are not culturable using traditional methods (Suryaletha et al, 2018). While many human disorders have been linked to a shift in the bacterial composition/function (Nowicki et al, 2018), it is still unclear how this fluctuation may influence the development of DFIs.…”

“…Bacteria in chronic wounds do not exist in a suspended state but colonize the ECM in the form of complex bacterial biofilms. This is often the reason for the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, such as extended-spectrum β-lactamasepositive Escherichia coli (ESBL E. coli) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) (Suryaletha et al, 2018).…”
