I.16 s rRNA microbial sequencing showing an increase in overall bacterial density (black dots of total Eubacteria) associated with suppressed pathogenic species (blue and red indicators of E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa. II. Biologic assays from patient #3 lavage samples demonstrating proteins can be detected that are relevant to extracellular matrix breakdown. III. Assay showing shift from pro-MMP9 (inactive form) to active MMP9 when recombinant human MMP9 (rHMMP9) is co-incubated with collagenase-producing E. faecalis isolated from an anastomotic lavage sample (patient #1)
