Identifying bacteria in diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study aims to find out which bacteria are causing your diabetic foot infection by testing a small sample from your wound. This could help doctors choose better treatments for you and others with similar infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a diabetic foot infection with an open wound
- You can provide a small tissue or fluid sample from the wound (about the size of a pea)
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 4 weeks, or if you have, they did not work (you tried at least 2 different antibiotics without success)
- You are willing to participate and sign a consent form

This study is looking for people with diabetes who have an open foot or ankle ulcer. Researchers want to collect samples to find biomarkers, which are natural signs in the body that could help improve treatment and healing. It may be a good fit if you have a diabetic foot ulcer and are not currently in another drug trial for ulcers.
This study looks at what factors affect outcomes in adults with diabetic foot ulcers. It may help doctors better predict healing and complications by better understanding what influences progress.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
This study creates a registry of people with diabetes who have or have had foot problems, like ulcers or infections, in African countries. The goal is to understand these issues better so that prevention and care can be improved.
This trial studies an approach to treat bacteria living in a diabetic foot ulcer and help prevent the ulcer from coming back. You may be able to join if you have an open diabetic foot ulcer and good blood flow to the wound.
This study collects skin samples from people with and without type 2 diabetes, especially around foot skin problems, to learn how skin “micro-germs” differ. The goal is to better understand what’s going on in diabetic skin lesions and possibly guide future care.
