Purpose. While some micro-organisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, are clearly
implicated in causing tissue damage in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), our knowledge of the …

Nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and costly complication of diabetes.
Microbial burden, or “bioburden,” is believed to underlie delayed healing, although little is …

Abstract Background Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) account for the majority of all limb
