The main objective of this study is to characterize the evolution (over a period of 28 days) of superficial and deep bacterial skin flora in patients with stage 3 or 4 sacral pressure ulcers (bedsores). Changes in terms of pathogenic, potentially pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacterial species at the intra-individual and population levels.
