There is no clearly significant differences in the microbial ecology of decubitusulcer in relation to metadata except when considering diabetes.
2
Physical examination revealed a decubitusulcer with foul smelling and yellowish exudative pus on his left chest wall and abdomen, forearm, thigh, and lower leg.
3
Infected decubitusulcers, conjunctivitis, symptomatic urinary-tract infections, and lower-respiratory tract infections were the most common types.
4
Background: Decubitusulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure ulcers, affect millions of hospitalized patients each year.
5
Results: Decubitusulcers are shown to be polymicrobial in nature with no single bacterium exclusively colonizing the wounds.
6
Decubitusulcers are more common among the inpatient spinal cord injury group, with prevalence rates up to 30%.
7
The microbial populations and composition in the decubitusulcers of diabetics may be significantly different from the communities in non-diabetics.
