| Abstract: | Bacteriological sampling of grossly infected or chronic plantar ulcers was perfomed in 39 untreated patients with leprosy and in 22 patients who had received antibiotic treatment. Samples were cultured aerobically and anaerobically, and films of pus were stained by Gram´s method. Stained films gave little indication of the type of infecting pathogen, except when Gram-positive cocci alone were seen. From the ulcers of patients untreated with antibiotics anaerobic streptococci were isolated more frequently than any other organism, and and this may be an original observation. Of the 8 Staphylococcus aureus isolates 5 were penicillin sensitive. A renge of Gram-negative bacteria, but no Clostridia, were isolated. From the ulcers of patients who had received antibiotics penicillin-resistant Staph. aureus was most frequently isolated. Some Gram-positive bacteria resistant to tetracycline were sensitive to doxycycline.(AU).
