Understanding the Role of Staphyloxanthin in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Important Research from Elizabeth Grice’s Lab #ActAgainstAmputation #Staph #bacteria #diabeticfoot #Cell

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) remain a serious concern for clinicians, researchers, and patients alike, posing risks that range from infection to amputation. However, new research led by Amy Cambpbell and coworkers from Elizabeth Grice’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania provides fresh insights into the role of bacterial factors, specifically staphyloxanthin in Staphylococcus aureus, in...

Metagenomics of Diabetic Foot Ulcer Undergoing Treatment with Total Contact Casting (TCC) @USC_vascular @USC @ALPSlimb @CosmosID

This initial look into what may be a routine survey of metagenomic data from week to week. Led by FASMA's Adam Isaac, CosmosID's (National Science Foundation Director Emerita) Prof. Rita Colwell and our team. Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are characterised by the presence of many microbes, some of which may not be identified by traditional... Continue Reading →

Diagnostic Accuracy of Point-of-Care Fluorescence Imaging for the Detection of Bacterial Burden in Wounds

This excellent work from Le and coworkers strongly suggests that using a point of care diagnostic device (Moleculight) can identify elevated bacterial load and influence medical decision making. Objective: High bacterial load contributes to chronicity of wounds and is diagnosed based on assessment of clinical signs and symptoms (CSS) of infection, but these characteristics are poor...

High-Resolution Spectral Analysis Accurately Identifies the Bacterial Signature in Infected Chronic Foot Ulcers in People With Diabetes

Will we soon see more visual diagnostics for wounds? Congratulations to our colleagues in Melbourne for these intriguing data. Diabetic foot infections are a major cause of hospitalization, and delayed treatment can lead to numerous complications. The aim of this research was to investigate high-resolution spectroscopy of the wound center and periwound area for real-time... Continue Reading →
