RESUMO
In comparison to normal controls, the non-sporing anaerobes were often isolated from orodental sepsis (42% to 44.4%), chronic suppurative otitis media (40%), septic abortion (40.3%), uterocervical wound (45.4%), vaginitis (50%) and cancer cervix (50%). This was true (40%) in perforating ulcers of foot in leprosy. These organisms were less frequently noted in abdominal (11%) and episiotomy (22.8%) wounds and leucorrhoea (33.3%). The role of non-sporing anaerobes was also suggested by the high percentage ratio of number of isolates to number of cases and by its primary isolation in moderate to heavy number. Barring the cases of cancer cervix, the aerobic bacteria were the most common (78.8% to 100%) in all other conditions.

Out of 25 cases of trophic ulcers of the foot, 10 (40%) were both aerobic and anaerobic, 14 (56%) only aerobic and one (4%) showed no growth of bacteria. With the exception of two cases (8%) in the aerobic group, all others showed mixed infections. A wide range of bacteria is reported. Topical application of gentamicin and chloramphenicol is recommended, based on the results of in vitro sensitivity.
