Introduction: Being able to identify a particular bacterial species is important. It is very useful in knowing its risk of toxicity to humans or animals‚ its resistance or susceptibility to antibiotics‚ and determining how to control its growth or kill it altogether. The purpose of these procedures is to discovery the identity of an unknown microbe by observing its reactions to a barrage of chemical and physical tests. Different microorganisms react in different ways‚ due to their function‚ digestibility

0314 Biofilms in Chronic Wounds: Current Research and Future Direction ABSTRACT Chronic wounds continue to be a significant healthcare problem. Although myriad factors have been implicated in impaired wound healing‚ recent research has focused on the role of matrix-based bacterial communities called biofilms that are often associated with chronic wounds. Various in vitro and in vivo models have been developed to study the role of biofilms in non-healing wounds. Basic science and clinical
