Extreme pain in foot, numbness, at times feels like frost bite in last 3 toes. Hi my name is Heather, In January of 2009 I had a tight rope bunion surgery, with a temporary pin placed in big toe to correct my bunion; which was causing me pain. I am a hair stylist so, I stand for 8-10 hours 4-5 days a week.
Bacteroides are some of the most common anaerobic bacteria species in the foot wounds of diabetics. Often, anaerobes co-exist with aerobic bacteria, which need oxygen to thrive. This is common in foot ulcers, which makes them more difficult to treat. Other anaerobes, such as those in the Actinomyces genus, can cause dental infections within the mouth.
Anaerobic bacteria are germs that can survive and grow where there is no oxygen. For example, it can thrive in human tissue that is injured and does not have oxygen-rich blood flowing to it. Infections like tetanus and gangrene are caused by anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic infections typically cause abscesses (buildups of pus), and death of tissue. Many anaerobic bacteria produce enzymes that destroy tissue and, sometimes, potent toxins. Besides bacteria, some protozoans and worms are also anaerobic.
