Brief Summary

Treatment of fracture related infection is challenging and often lead to failure in such situation that carry a high health cost burden. These infections are often polymicrobial, making the identification of all involved microorganisms a major concern to provide tailored antibiotic treatment. Culture-independent methods are needed to better represent the microbial diversity of infected wounds. Metagenomic sequencing might lead to an accurate microbiome characterization in infected trauma-related wound. Preliminary studies have reported results of metagenomic sequencing in diabetic foot infection but data focusing on non-diabetic infected patients are scarce. The impact of post-traumatic infected wound microbiome needs to be assessed, with regards to bacterial abundance, diversity including at the strain level and functional genes, along with their longitudinal evolution and association with clinical outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Microbiome of fracture-related and other trauma-related infection

    Metagenomic sequencing will be used to determine the microbiome of trauma-related infections using Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Data will be compared with those from reference microbiological identification techniques (culture).

    About 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Comparison of high throughput sequencing techniques yield

    About 3 months

  • Number and nature of virulence or resistance factors among identified OTU (operational Taxonomic Unit)

    About 6 months

  • Number of bacteria and their relative abundance according to patients' outcome using the EBJIS (European Bone and Joint Infection) definition

    About 6 months

Study Arms (1)

Trauma related infection

Diagnostic Test: Metagenomic sequencing

Interventions

Metagenomic sequencingDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Samples shall be submitted to high throughput sequencing using both illumine MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
