Bacterial Distribution in Re-intervention Cases Frequency distribution of bacteria isolated during re-interventions (n = 8 isolates from 4 patients) at genus (left bars, hatched patterns with letter) and species (right bars, solid colors with numbers) levels. Numbers within bars correspond to legend entries. Re-intervention cases showed altered bacterial profiles compared to initial sampling, with emergence of Enterobacteriaceae spp. alongside Staphylococcus spp., indicating bacterial persistence or secondary colonization. MET, metatarsal; DP, distal phalanx.
