Skin and soft tissue infections are frequent infections in healthcare that vary in
presentation and severity. The severe forms often require surgical intervention and
antimicrobial therapy and their recovery should be assessed frequently to catch treatment
failures [
1
]. Here, we used random sequencing of coding bacterial RNA (metatranscriptomics) and
16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (16S profiling) to characterize the post-treatment
bacterial communities of a complicated burn wound and assess infection clearance.
