The microbiome of diabetic foot ulcers: A comparison of swab and tissue biopsy wound sampling techniques using 16S rRNA gene sequencing BMC Microbiology Health care professionals need to collect wound samples to identify potential pathogens that contribute to wound infection. Obtaining appropriate samples from diabetic foot ulcers where there is a suspicion of infection is of high importance. Paired swabs and tissue biopsies were collected from DFUs and both sampling techniques were compared using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. READ MORE
