Summary

This study looks at how biofilm infections in diabetic foot ulcers affect skin healing and whether poor skin barrier function leads to the wound coming back. Researchers will measure water loss through healed skin to check barrier strength. The goal is to understand the link between biofilm and wound recurrence in 405 adults with diabetic foot ulcers.
