Figure 1. Bacteria Cultured from Injured Ukrainian Service Members. Shown are bacteria cultured from the wounds of 127 injured Ukrainian service members, with percentages assigned to each bacterial family and to each genus within the Enterobacteriaceae family. Percentages may not total 100 because of rounding.
Battlefield injuries are often contaminated with potentially infecting microbes. In this study, swabs obtained in the field after injury were profiled. Microbes and potential antimicrobial-resistance genes were characterized. Full study results: nej.md/4l1hpqk
