Cooperative Evolutionary Strategy between the Bacteriome and Mycobiome
ABSTRACT Nonhealing chronic wounds are all unique in origin and circumstance, and attempting to isolate a single etiology for the failure of a wound to heal is daunting. Wounds represent complex systems of multispecies fungal and bacterial biofilms. The survival strategies of interactive microbial c...
