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 respiration is the process of producing the high-energy molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, in the absence of oxygen. In terms of tolerance to oxygen, microbes are classified into five: obligate anaerobes, obligate aerobes, microaerophiles, aerotolerant and facultative.
