Identification of collagenolytic bacteria in human samples: screening methods and clinical implications for resolving and preventing anastomotic leaks and wound complications

BACKGROUND: Bacteria that produce collagen digesting enzymes (collagenolytic bacteria) have been shown to play a critical and previously unappreciated role in anastomotic leak pathogenesis by breaking down host tissue extracellular matrix proteins. Detection of these bacteria is labor intensive and...
