Trial Outcomes & Findings for VAC Bioburden Wound Care Assessment (NCT NCT04826965)

NCT ID: NCT04826965

Last Updated: 2023-11-03

Results Overview

Bacterial bio-burden as measured by microbial PCR prior to debridement using the MicroGen PCR platform (DBA Microgen Diagnostics, LLC, Lubbock, TX). Reported as the number of participants with low (\< 1x10\^5), medium (1x10\^5 to 1x10\^7), and high (\> 1x10\^7) counts of bacteria per gram.
