Bad "Staph" in the Wound Environment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a leading cause of high morbidity among diabetic patients. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kalan et al. (2019) examine the microbial bio-burden of DFUs and reveal biofilm and virulence pathways in the microbial metagenome that are linked to clinical healing outcomes.
