TL;DR: This guideline addresses the wide array of SSTIs that occur in this population and emphasizes the importance of clinical skills in promptly diagnosing SSTI, identifying the pathogen, and administering effective treatments in a timely fashion.
Necrotizing Fasciitis: Clinical Presentation, Microbiology, and Determinants of Mortality
TL;DR: Early operative débridement was demonstrated to reduce mortality among patients with necrotizing fasciitis and a high index of suspicion is important in view of the paucity of specific cutaneous findings early in the course of the disease.

Diabetic foot ulcer—A review on pathophysiology, classification and microbial etiology
TL;DR: Healing as well as non-healing nature of ulcer relies upon the wound microbial communities and the extent of their pathogenicity, and another aspect which needs management is proper identification of causative pathogen causing infection.

The quantitative swab culture and smear: A quick, simple method for determining the number of viable aerobic bacteria on open wounds
TL;DR: The quantitative swab culture is a reliable method for quantifying the number of viable bacteria colonizing open wounds and the value of the smear and swab techniques for predicting safe wound closure may be inferred from the published reports of others and the direct relationship between the swab and biopsy counts of viableacteria for open wounds.
