Background
Microbiology
- Typically polymicrobial, including:
- Staphylococcus species
- Streptococcus species
- Proteobacteria (Gram-negative bacterial genus that includes enterics)
- Anaerobes
- Anaerobes are more likely to be involved in deeper, more chronic ulcers
Management
- Osteomyelitis
- Traditionally, 6 weeks of parenteral therapy
- May be able to shorten to 3 weeks if adequately debrided, based on more recent evidence1
Further Reading
- The Neuropathic Diabetic Foot Ulcer Microbiome IsAssociated With Clinical Factors. Diabetes. 2013;62:923-930.
