Genetic variation may affect bacterial composition and healing of wounds

from PLOS via ScienceDaily

Genetic variation may affect bacterial composition and healing of wounds PLOS via ScienceDaily Genetic variability across patients might play an important role in shaping the microbiome composition of wounds, thereby influencing the healing process, according to a study published June 18 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Caleb Phillips, of Texas Tech University, and colleagues. As noted by the authors, knowledge about genomic sites associated with microbiome diversity in chronic wounds could guide the identification of predictive biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.
