Conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and ischemia are two common causes of diabetic foot ulcer formation. Decreased sensation due to peripheral neuropathy increase the risk of trauma which is another known cause of ulcer formation. Microorganisms such as staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, proteus mirabilis, escherichia coli and bacteroides fragilis are responsible for diabetic foot ulcer infection.
