This is a prospective, single-blind, controlled trial. There are two arms and 20 patients with acute or chronic wounds with clinical suspicion of biofilm (CSB+/CSB-) are allocated in each arm. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MolecuLight fluorescence in identifying biofilm as validated by gold standard SEM imaging.
