BIOME cohort: Multi‐system microbiome dynamics and clinical outcomes in massive burn injury patients

iMeta, EarlyView.
Massive burn injuries (MBIs) are associated with high mortality and disability rates, primarily due to microbial‐driven sepsis from extensive skin barrier loss and subsequent scar formation. This makes MBI a compelling model for studying multi‐system microbial dysbiosis following skin barrier destruction.
