Enterococcus faecium colonization and persistence in a model of diabetic wound infection.

Key Points

• To investigate how Enterococcus faecium colonizes and persists in diabetic wound infections.
• Utilized a diabetic wound infection model to assess colonization.
• Analyzed innate immune responses in the wound bed.
• Enterococcus faecium effectively modulates innate immune responses.
• Persistence of the bacteria leads to sustained wound infection.
