Longitudinal profiling of the burn patient cutaneous and gastrointestinal microbiota: a pilot study

Abstract Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients that have sustained a severe burn injury. Early detection and treatment of infections improves outcomes and understanding changes in the host microbiome following injury and during treatment may aid in burn care. The loss of f...
