From: Enhanced susceptibility to infections in a diabetic wound healing model
Bacterial counts in diabetic wounds and non-diabetic wounds in colony-forming units/g tissue. Day 4: 1.8 × 107 versus 3.4 × 103 CFU/g tissue, p = X; Day 8 1.2 × 106 versus 3 × 105, p = X; Day 12 2.2 × 105 versus 3.2 × 103 CFU/g tissue, p = X). Microorganisms were identified as E. coli, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and Enterococcus faecium. No S. aureus infection could be detected. # = p < 0.05 diabetic versus non-diabetic wounds; * = p < 0.001 diabetic versus non-diabetic wounds.
