Infectious burden in the inoculated (A) and non-inoculated hindlimb (B) for both the diabetic (n=14) and non-diabetic (n=7) groups quantified by plate culture method. Box plot data represent median, 25th, 75th percentiles, with whiskers representing minimum and maximum values. Vertical axis is logarithmic base 10 scale with values representing power of the base. There was a significant difference in the concentration of bacteria cultured for the inoculated hindlimb between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups (p = 0.0003*). There was not a significant difference detected in the infectious burden for the non-inoculated hindlimb between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups (p = 0.0682).
