Did you know that a dog’s mouth is home to a variety of bacteria? While we love our furry friends, dog bites should be taken seriously as they can lead to complicated infections. Unfortunately, one patient learned this the hard way. Within 24 hours of a dog bite, they were hospitalized with a severe infection that required wound-cleaning surgery and IV antibiotics. Take a look at their MicroGenDX test results, Many of the bacteria responsible for these infections are 'anaerobic'—and they don’t grow easily in traditional lab cultures. At MicroGenDX, we use Next-Generation DNA sequencing instead of outdated culture techniques to accurately identify these hard-to-detect bacteria. Knowing exactly what’s in the wound means selecting the most effective antibiotic and reducing the risk of the infection spreading. MicroGenDX: fast, precise results for better treatment decisions.

At MicroGenDX, we believe data holds the key to innovation. On this #WorldStatisticsDay, we're excited to showcase a key finding from a paper authored by a scientist on our staff: a network map illustrating the complex relationships between wound microbiome species and how patient genetics could tip the scale towards certain types of infection. ???Tipton et al. 2020 revealed that genetic variations in patients significantly influence wound microbiome diversity and infection types. Here, a single mutation was found to be associated with the abundance of two very common bacteria often found in chronic wounds, Staphylococcus epidermidis (#12) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa (#10) in the graph below (Fig. 2). The network plot highlights the different ways that these two selected species interacted with other microbial species, with black lines showing positive associations and orange lines showing negative ones. Staphylococcus epidermidis is sometimes thought to be less harmful or even potentially beneficial in the context of an open wound. The strong negative correlations observed between S. epidermidis and known pathogens like S. aureus and Pseudomonas seem to back up the idea that S. epidermidis may have a beneficial role in preventing colonization by worse pathogens. These data help explain why some wounds struggle to heal and why some patients may seem prone to frequent re-infection by the same organism! This visualization is a powerful reminder that statistics aren’t just numbers – they drive discovery and lead to more personalized treatment options for chronic wounds. ??

We’re thrilled to share that Lori Johnson, NP, along with Dr. Drue Orwig and Craig Tipton (of MicroGenDX), has completed groundbreaking research showcasing the power of Next-Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) in guiding targeted antimicrobial therapies for chronic, non-healing wounds. Their study reveals how NGS can pinpoint precise microbial profiles, leading to dramatic wound healing in patients where traditional treatments had failed. For those heading to the SAWC Fall Conference in Las Vegas, stop by the poster area on Friday, October 4th at 6:15-7:30pm to see Lori Johnson’s poster presentation. #SAWC2024 #WoundCare #NGSResearch #MicroGenDX #TopicalAntimicrobial #ChronicWounds #SAWC #NGS #WoundHealing #Research

I have got plans for this one! More to come on this case in the next months. 42 yo male S/P “train wreck”. ICM score 6 with +NGS per Microgen DX (8 organisms). Culture negative. B Host. Will have to bring everything to bear to make this a success. ???? #ThanksMicrogenDX #OxfordPerformanceMaterials #3DSide #LINKHingeinaBox

Staphylococcus lugdunensis?+ w/ open biopsy per next generation sequencing via Microgen DX. Negative cultures from the open biopsy. Now that we have identified the problem, now to work...

Urine Pathogenicity Now Available on All Reports As of September 1st, 2024 MicroGenDX will now be offering a pathogenicity rating on all qPCR+NGS urine samples. This rates all organisms found in that report as: [P] = Known Pathogen [C] = Commensal / Unlikely Pathogen [U] = Unknown This column is found to the right of the NGS% column .? These ratings are based on an in-house developed AI algorithm. Please note that these ratings are for healthcare provider reference only and assume the patient is not immunocompromised. The final treatment decisions rest at the physician's discretion, and all patient health factors should be taken into account. This report is currently only available for Urine Samples.?

NGS has uncovered what conventional culture overlooked; many cases of nonunion may be the result of a polymicrobial invasion that had previously gone undetected. Take a look at this study here: https://loom.ly/fjt6PfQ
