from patients with chronic venous ulcers over the course of 5 weeks (Gao et al.
2021). Although temporal uctuations amongst the measured markers occurred as
well as conicting interpatient differences, some common features were evident amongst all 5 patients, suggesting that the developed multiplexed immunosensor may serve as a benecial tool in the future. On top of immune signalling molecules, the authors also measured temporal changes in temperature and pH. Both of these markers are commonly measured as they can be quantied using rather cheap and simple instruments. Handheld infrared thermometers are often utilized to measure wound temperatures and there is an increasing amount of documentation which shows that wound temperature and wound infection is closely linked (Dini et al.
2015; Woo and Sibbald 2009; Fierheller and Sibbald 2010). pH is often measured
using colour gradients of different pH-sensitive stains. These can be incorporated into brous dressings in which a visible colour change can be observed in response to the pH dynamics of the wound (Pan et al. 2019; Tamayol et al. 2016; Vu et al.
2020). Shukla et al. (2014) measured the pH of 50 patients using simple litmus
paper strips. They also performed microbial culturing of the wounds and found an association between the detected species and the wound pH. An additional

microenvironmental change that can be monitored is the presence or absence of oxygen. He et al. (2020) created a smart wound dressing with incorporated methylene blue that turned yellow due to bacterial oxygen depletion. As this colour change is visible to the naked eye, the authors argued that this made real-time monitoring of wound infection possible (He et al. 2020). While all of these indirect markers may indicate whether an infection is present or not, none of them can prove the establishment of a biolm.
Measuring microbial markers is a complicated task due to the large variety of species found in wounds. Very often, a single biological marker will not be present for all species, and although some commonalities exist, sensors that detect microbes or microbial produced compounds are often limited by this fact. Yet attempts are still being made to creat
e sensors that can report on the microbial presence in
wounds.
Smart wound dressings are being developed that responds to the presence of bacterial toxins, which are commonly utilized as microbial markers. This is often done by encapsulating dyes in lipid vesicles which are broken down in the presence of most bacterial toxins or bacterially derived enzymes, thus releasing the dye and causing a colour change (Thet et al. 2016, 2020; Zhou et al. 2018). It has been argued that these systems only react to pathog ens, as commensal bacteria are not known to produce toxins to the same degree. However, some commensal skin bacteria cause extensive infections despite their limited production of toxins, as is the case for S. epidermidis (Otto 2009). Some studies maintain that the production of toxins for certain species is a density regulated action, and can therefore be correlated to the presence of biolms (Thet et al. 2016). Other speci es, for example E. faecalis, are known to produce toxins in the presence of target cells, no matter the microbial amount (Coburn et al. 2004). For some species, the production of toxins is believed to be regulated by quorum sensing (QS). However, the role of QS in wounds is not yet established. In fact, one study that analysed the transcriptome of P. aerugi nosa obtained from clinical samples found a down-regulation of QS genes (Cornforth et al. 2018).
Some sensors are developed to detect specic toxins, as was done in the study by Simoska et al. (2020). In this study, a exible carbon ultramicroelectrode array was developed that could perform quantitative electrochemical detection of pyocyanin, a toxi n produced solely by P. aeruginosa strains. Pyocyanin has previ ously been found in varying quantities in wound exudate, and in this study pyocyanin amounts in the range of 1–250 lM could be detected. In addition to pyocyanin, the devel­oped sensor was also able to detect uric acid and NO. Uric acid is another microbial marker, which is discussed later on, while NO is a common immune cell signalling molecule, secreted by both PMNs and macrophages in response to wounding. However, in the infectious anoxic environment of chronic wounds, NO is often lacking, and its absence can therefore be used as an infection marker. Jarosova et al. (2019) also created a sensor for detecting pyocyanin but did so using polyacrylamide-coated carbon nanotube electrodes, managing to detect pyocyanin in concentrations as small as 0.1 lM. Their sensor was also developed to detect uric acid.
Biofilms and Impaired Wound Healing 209
Uric acid (UA) is a commonly studied wound marker and high levels of UA have been found in uninfected chronic wounds (Fernandez et al. 2012). The pre­cursor for UA is ATP, which is released in the wound microenvironment when cells rupture. Cell damage caused by inadequate oxygen supply leads to ATP release and subsequent build-up of
purine metabolites (Fernandez et al. 2014). The conversion of UA also causes a release of ROS, further sustaining inammation. Chronic wounds are therefore expected to contain an intrinsic high level of UA, however, in the presence of infectious microbes UA is rapidly metabolised and local levels of UA are decreased. This decrease in UA is therefore used as a biological marker signifying the presence of metabolising microbes and several different types of bandages have been developed to detect UA levels (Sharp et al. 2008; Kassal et al.
2015; Sharifuzzaman et al. 2020). Another microbial marker is lactic acid, which
has also been found in increased amoun ts in infected chronic ulcers (Löfer et al.
2011). Lactate is thought to be produced not only by PMNs during their respiratory
burst but also by several microbial species during fermentation (Löfer et al. 2011). Sensors which detect the levels of lactate within a woun d have been developed. Ashley et al. (2019) developed a exible electrochemical biosensor which could detect both lactate and oxygen. The sensor was designed to be able to integrate into wound bandages and in vivo tests of the sensor were reportedly underway.
On top of several immune signalling molecules, the multiplexed immunosensor developed by Gao et al. (2021) also contained a channel for detecting S. aureus specically, as S. aureus is one of the most common wound pathogens. The aptamers in the device were designed to bind to specic epitopes on the cell wall of
S. a
ureus (Ranjbar a
nd Shahrokhian 2018). However, due to inherent strain dif­ferences, it can be speculated if the specic aptamer only shows an affinity for certain similar strains of S. aureus as the one used in the experiment in the paper. A different study presented a wound dressing designed to detect the presence of S. aureus DNA (Roy et al. 2021). The dressing was based on a composite of zeolitic imidazolate framework and carbon nitride conjugated with S.aureus probe-DNA. The sensor was tested against human serum and non-complimentary DNA, and based on this the authors concluded that the chosen probe was selective only towards S. aureus DNA.
Lastly, sensors that detect biolm markers such as EPS components are being developed and tested. In 2014, Li et al. developed a gold-particle based multi­channel nanosensor that could detect various EPS components, creating different patterns depending on the species which produced the EPS (Li et al. 2014) A multic
hannel output was created via reversible adsorption and subsequently partial displacement of three distinct uorescent proteins. The three uorescent proteins all contained negative surface charges allowing for electrostatic interac­tions with two cationic functional groups on gold nanoparticles. When presented with negatively charged EPS components, competitive interactions occurred, and distinct patterns were generated based on the specic EPS tichannel sensor was tested against biolm produced by

uorescent patterns. Ngernpimai et al. (2017) created a similar multichannel sensor containing three uorescent poly(oxanorborneneimide) polymers which each con­tained a cationic recognition element and an environmentally sensitive transducer, selected to create two Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) partners. When exposed to different biolms of various species, distinct uorescent patterns were observed. In the two studies by Li et al. and Ngernpimai et al., both author groups recognized that c
reating sensors for specic EPS components would be too extensive due to the large variety and combination of EPS produced by different species. Instead, creating multichannel sensors which allow for unspecic EPS detection increases the likelihood that any encountered biolm could be detected. However, to believe that such multichannel sensors will be able to recognise the specic microbial species responsible for a biolm infection seems unlikely, as this would r
equire an immense amount of sensor training.
Nakagami et al. (2017) used a different and more simple approach to detect wound biolms, termed wound blotting. A nitrocellulose membrane was pressed to a wound surface to collect biolm components. The membrane was subsequently stained using ruthenium red which detects the presence of mucopolysaccharides, a component commonly found in biolm EPS. This wound blotting technique was testedon23
u
re ulcers and a biolm-positive wound blotting outcome was
press found to correlate to increased or unchanged slough production. Wu et al. (2020) performed similar wound blotting but utilised alcian blue staining instead which also stains EPS polysaccharides. Wound blotting has previously been used to show the distribution of TNF-a on pressure wound surfaces and the distinct patterns were found to correlate to the healing process of the wounds (Minematsu et al. 2013).
A common issue for all of the EPS sensors and detection methods presented above is their ability to only detect biolms on the surface of wounds. This issue was averted using the detection method presented in Ash raet al. (2018). This method was based on the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pro­duced by microbial pathogens. The VOCs were measured using gas chromatog­raphy coupled to mass spectrometry on ex vivo samples of human skin which had been incubated with bacteria. The authors found that the VOC proles differed between planktonic and biolm growing cells, which means that the method could arguably be used to detect biolm infections speci cally. For some species, it was also found that the VOC proles correlated with metabolic activity and biolm biomass. VOC proles have previously been found to differ between chronic wounds and healthy skin in individual patients and have been speculated to relate to the infecting pathog ens (Thomas et al. 2010). The VOC proles in the study by Ashraet al. (2018) were also found to differ between different species, and although the authors argued that the proles could be used to distinguish between

feasible.

Novel Imaging-Based Detection Methods
An alternative to sensors is non-invasive, non-destructive imaging techniques (see Table 2 for an overview). Imaging techniques cause little to no interference with the wound and have a high precision when used for repeated and continuous mea­surements over longer intervals (Li et al. 2020). Particularly approaches that use both photography and digital tracings to create a mul tidimensional image that not only assesses surface conditions are gaining popularity. One such technique is

near-infrared imaging. In Vivo Imaging Systems (IVIS) that use near-infrared imaging in combination with optical imaging are able to visualize bioluminescenc e and uorescence signals in live tissue. Near-infrared imaging has the advantage that it can provide high-resolution images deep within a tissue, up to several centimetres (Dang et al. 2019). One study utilised an IVIS system in combination with a bioluminescent strain in a mouse model to follow the establishment of an implant-related infection in vivo (Dinjaski et al. 2014). A different study used an
Biofilms and Impaired Wound Healing 213
IVIS system to detect fracture-related infections following orthopaedic trauma surgery. The authors used vancomycin coupled to a near-infrared uorophore as an optical trace r, which was found to bind well to biolms of gram-positive microbes, although the visualisation was only performed on plates and screws that had already been removed from the patients (López-Álvarez et al. 2022
). In the future, using biolm-specic uorescent compounds in combi nation with this method could provide a novel non-invasive detection method to visualise biolms within wounds and other infections, although un iversal biolm-specic compounds h ave yet to be found.
Another popular imaging technique is Raman Spectroscopy which detects the energy change of photons when scattering off a material. Raman spectroscopy is highly sensitive and can detect biomolecules Bullock et

depth of 600 um into the skin. Specic microenvironments were observed within the skin in a patchy distribution when the skin had been infected with S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Interestingly, the authors noted that when they averaged all pH measurements across the infected skin model, the net pH value was not signicantly different to a control model. This nding emphasizes how single point pH mea­surements or average measurements across a wound might overlook pockets of alkalinity occurring due to microbial actions. Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering spectroscopy (SERS) is an enhanced method of Raman Spectroscopy and can detect even smaller amounts of biomolecules. Nguyen et al. (2018) used SERS to detect pyocyanin produced by P. aeruginosa in aqueous media and Bodelon et al . (2016) detected pyocyanin in vivo in a mouse model. The authors argued that SERS could be used to detect P. aeruginosa infections in very early stages.
Multispectral and Hyperspectral Imaging (MSI/HSI) are other imaging tech­niques which have been used to monitor wound progression. The imaging systems contain the ability to split light into multiple narrow bands, and thereby recognise and differentiate spectrally distinctive materials (Saiko et al. 2020)

systems developed for this purpose already exist, although more complex HSI systems are also being developed. Nouvong et al. (2009) used HSI to measure supercial tissue oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin at the edge of diabetic ulcers from 54 patients. After 24 weeks all wounds were re-evaluated and the rate of healing was found to correlate strongly to tissue oxygenation status. Poosapadi Arjunan et al. (

the reectance spectrum of pure bacterial cultures, they managed to discriminate between infections caused by S. aureus and E. coli. Some studies integrate mul­tispectral and hyperspectral imaging with other imaging technologies. Chang et al. (2018) combined hyperspectral imaging with 3D wound size measurements and thermal proling and employed this clinically on 23 patients suffering pressure ulcers. Finally, in a study by Herrmann et al.

produced by bacteria would be visible on the wound surface. A commercial device termed MolecuLight i:X has been developed which is based on the same concept as the one presented in Herrmann et al. (2020). This handheld imaging device has been tested to measure different uorescent biomolecules such as porphyrin and pyoverdine (Raizman et al. 2021; Jones et al. 2020). The creators of the device argue that the amount of uorescent biomolecules increases when the microbes are in the biolm mode of growth, hence functioning as a specic biolm detection device. Yet, care should be taken when measuring uorescent signals in human tissue, as autouorescence from tendons, slough and other human tissues can interfere with the bacterial uorescent signals (Rennie et al.
2019). Moreover, the
maximum depth of excitation for UV light has been estimated to be 1 mm in human tissue, hence any bacteria found deeper than this will not be visualised (Jones et al.
2020). Finally, the device has a limit of detection of around 10
4
CFU/g, as lower amounts than this do not produce enough uorescent signal to be detected (Rennie et al. 2017).
Another expansion of MSI/HSI techniques is Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI), which can measure the optical properties over a large eld of view with increased depth sensitivity and resolution. SFDI separates and quanties absorbed and scattered light by imparting a structural pattern to the tissue illumi­nation (Li et al. 2020; Tha
tcher et al. 2016). Nguyen et al. (2013) used SFDI to determine the infection status of rodent burn wounds in situ. The wounds were imaged daily over a period of 10 days, and by using SFDI the authors could follow blood ow, oxygenation and tis sue changes. In the future, a combination of uorescence proling together with the depth resolution of SFDI might allow for greater biolm detection in wounds. This combination o f methods is already being investigated for use in cancer surgery (Sibai et al. 2019).
Recently, novel types of uorescent molecules that attempt to target some of the most ubiquitous EPS components have gained a lot of traction. The method is known as optotracing and it is based on conformation-sensitive uorescent tracer molecules that bind to amyloids, polysaccharides and cell wall glycan strands (Choong et al. 2016; Butina et al. 2020). Optotracers are small anionic uorescent tracer molecules that interact with their target via electrostatic interactions. For now, the uorescent molecules have been visualized using standard uorescent microscopy and spectrophotometric methods, but if the optotracers were to be used in combination with some of the newer visualisation techniques presented here, their use in infection diagnosis could prove very relevant. However, their usefulness relies on the matrix components being expressed in the wounds.
While standard X-ray computed tomography scans can determine the presence of infections, specic biolm detection will require a contrast agent (Xu et al.
2020). Carrel et al. (2017) performed X-ray computed tomography in combination
with iron sulphate as the contrast agent and were able to distinguish biolm biomass from the surrounding porous media, despite the high water content observed in biolms. An expansion to this is to use X-ray microforce computed tomography instead, which has a higher resolution. Sellmyer et al. (2017) performed positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using a radio-labelled antibiotic as the
Biofilms and Impaired Wound Healing 215
contrast agent and were able to visualise rodent infections caused by several dif­ferent species. They did however observe a decreased and delayed uptake of the contrast agent in resistant bacterial strains and while labelled antibiotics are often shown to be very specic in targeting microbes, the spread of antibiotic resistance can diminish the use of such tracers.
The biolm detection method presented in Anastasiadis et al. (2014) was not developed for wounds specically, yet it could easily be adapted to t this situation. The detection method uses high-frequency acoustic microscopy in conjunction with ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) developed to target biolm specic ligands of S. aureus. The authors argue that since available in most clinical settings, implementing this detection method should prove fairly easy. Gas microbubbles in combination with ultrasound are already being investigated extensively for their use in the controlled delivery of drugs to infec­tious biolms (LuTheryn et al. 2020). While this detection method seems promising, to our knowledge, tests have yet to be performed on humans. Moreover, similar to other detection methods developed, this method focuses solely on S. aureus infections. The development of universal UCAs against biolm components would surely be valuable in the detection of infectious biolms.
ultrasound imaging devices are already readily
Discussion
The aim of this chapter is to elucidate methods used to detect biolms in wounds is it relevant to know whether or not there is a biolm present in a wound? Or rather: could it not just be assumed that a non-healing wound always contains a certain amount of biolm? The purpose of this book is to address the topic of signicance of evidence and technology in the context of wound management. The burden of chronic wounds is enormous as discussed widely in this book: tech­nology is used to generate evidence which, appropriately applied, should permit better wound healing in the context of standardised care, and generate better evidence.
this number is often thought to be an underestimation (Malone et al. 2017a) Perhaps m biolm-based wound care treatment in carefully designed studies using a pre­sumptive hypothesis which is that a chronic wound with impaired healing will contain a biolm: on the contrary a freshly cleansed and debrided wound should be free of biolms. In this situation, it would be useful to have a fast, non-invasive method to detect if the debridement left the wound free of biolm. At any rate, sharp debridement guided by an initial biolm detection could lead to more accurate and efficient biofilm removal without collateral damage to nearby granu- l
ation
detection methods may have their merits both before and after such treatments.
(see Table 3 for a summary) . Thus, it is important to address the question:
Most recent studies nd that 80% of all chronic wounds contain biolms, but
any of these detection methods could be used in combination with a
tissue. The same is true for other biolm-based wound care treatments, as
