Evaluation of the gut microbiome in association with biological signatures of inflammation in murine polytrauma and shock

Abstract Severe injuries are frequently accompanied by hemorrhagic shock and harbor an increased risk for complications. Local or systemic inflammation after trauma/hemorrhage may lead to a leaky intestinal epithelial barrier and subsequent translocation of gut microbiota, potentially worsening outc...
