WHS SESSION E: Infection and Microbiome

The presence of microbes is known to influence the wound healing process. The number and type of microbes present in a healing wound, their metabolic products, as well as microbe-microbe interactions and microbe-host interactions can significantly modify the rate of repair and alter long-term outcomes. This session will discuss the latest work on wound infection and prevention and will provide up-to-date information about advances in wound infection research.
