Dynamics of Microbial Communities in Chronic Wounds and Their Role in Wound Healing
TOTAL VIEWS: 1111
Abstract
Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and venous stasis ulcers, have long posed a challenge in the medical field. The healing process of these wounds is influenced by various factors, among which the role of the microbial community is increasingly recognized. This review delves deep into the dynamic changes in the microbial community of chronic wounds and elucidates the critical role of microbes in the process of wound healing. The microbial community is closely associated with various stages of the wound healing process, including inflammation, cell proliferation, and cell migration. In particular, the inflammatory response, which is directly linked to microbial infection, subsequently affects the rate of wound healing. Microbial interventions, such as the use of antibiotics and probiotics, are gradually emerging as vital strategies for the treatment of chronic wounds. However, with the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance, probiotic therapy is showcas-ing its unique advantage as an alternative strategy. In conclusion, this article provides readers with a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the microbial community in chronic wounds. It also highlights new avenues for future research and treatment.
