  abstract = {<p>Swabs from trophic ulcers from 108 cases were studied by culture. 37 cases yielded single organism (Ps. aeruginosa, 18, Proteus species 11, Staph. pyogenes 4, Others 4). 71 cases yielded mixed growth with two or more organisms. Ps. aeruginosa, Proteus species and Diphtheroids were the predominant organisms in these cultures. Ps. aeruginosa was sensitive to Gentamycin (96.6%), Streptomycin (62.7%) and Chloramphenicol (33.9%). Other organisms although comparatively more sensitive showed a similar pattern.</p>},
