Information provided by: | Southwest Regional Wound Care Center |
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00764296 |
The Specific Aim of examining wounds microscopically is to attempt to demonstrate the presence of biofilm in chronic wounds and to understand these populations on a cellular level.
Condition | Intervention |
---|---|
Wounds |
Other: no treatment |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Cohort, Prospective |
Official Title: | Collection of Samples for the Evaluation of Wound Biofilm in Acute and Chronic Wounds |
The debridement sample will be processed to extract DNA for 16s rDNA evaluation in order to determine the microbial population of the sample using a more sensitive means than standard culture.
Enrollment: | 34 |
Study Start Date: | December 2006 |
Groups/Cohorts | Assigned Interventions |

no treatment
The information obtained by the evaluation of both acute and chronic wounds is pivotal to truly understanding the intercellular tactics used by wound biofilms which work to disrupt host tissue and to evade the host's immune system.

Characterizing the surface of the acute wound is important because the characterization can act as a control and can give a standard by which to judge the microscopic pathology observed in chronic wounds.
