Diabetic foot ulcerations exhibit a wide range of the bacterial spectrum.

A review of such cases at Sheridan Park Hospital reveals that there may be factors other than bacterial type that may account for the virulence of diabetic ulcers. Multifactorial causes host a vital role in this common, but potentially serious, podiatric problem.
