Cover Story: The wound microbiome refers to the specific community of microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, that are present in and around a wound. This microbiome plays a crucial role in wound healing, as it includes both healing-promoting and pathogenic microbes. A balanced microbial colonization can support wound healing and prevent infections, while an overgrowth of pathogenic microbes can lead to delayed healing processes and complications. This review highlighted the complex interactions in the wound microbiome and discussed the importance of non-pathogenic microbes for wound healing. In addition, possible therapeutic approaches to restoring a healthy microbiome and preventing infections will be addressed. A deeper understanding of these dynamics could open up new perspectives for the treatment of wounds and the development of strategies to combat wound infections. View this paper
