As the disease progresses, diabetic ulcers which are open sores or wounds may develop as it has been reported in more than 25% of the patients. Even though the diabetic foot ulcers are more common the ulcers can develop on hands also. Infections with various pathogenic bacteria are common in such ulcers (40%-80%) and the multi-drug resistant bacterial strains and the complication arise from them cause prolonged morbidity, amputation of lower limb and in extreme cases even mortalities.

In the present study we analyze 53 diabetic patients with foot or hand ulcers for the characteristics of the bacterial community in thei.. Read More»
