Summary

This study looks at how biofilm infections in diabetic foot ulcers affect healing and whether the skin barrier closes properly. Researchers will measure water loss through healed skin to predict if the wound might come back. The goal is to understand the link between infection, skin barrier function, and wound recurrence in 405 adults with diabetic foot ulcers.
