Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Venous leg ulcers (VLU) are the most common chronic wounds characterized by bacterial biofilms and perturbed microbiome. <italic>Staphylococcus epidermidis </italic>is primarily known as skin commensal beneficial for the host, however, some strains can form biofilms and cause infections. By employing shotgun metagenomic sequencing we show that genetic signatures of antimicrobial resista...
