Values are expressed as a percentage of the total number of isolates in the DM or non-DM population. The numbers in parenthesis are number of isolates from DM or non-DM divided by total number of isolates obtained from all wounds. Two-tail value was determined with Pearson correlation coefficients and indicates that the variable significantly correlates with DM. NS: not significant.
