These lesions were caused by multiple microbes by 26 (51%) bacterial isolates or by one cause by 13 (25.5%) bacterial isolates. Of the 51 infected, 36 had foot ulcers, 10 had foot cell death, and five others had gangrene, which caused eight aerobic and anaerobic bacterial types: Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., E. coli, Staphylococcus spp., Clostridium perfringes, and Bacteroides fragilis. It was noted that all 26 of the 36 ulcers with cell death and gangrene were medically controlled and treated with antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin, Cloxacillin, Gentamicin, and Pefloxacin) as these antibiotics varied in antibiotic susceptibility towards pathogens. We conclude that an abscess culture and routine antibiotic susceptibility testing for diabetic feet are crucial in the management of diabetic foot injury.
