Abstract Diabetic foot ulcers are commonly due to the colonization of bacteria like Staphylococcus , Enterobacteriaceae , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . However, here, we report a case of nonhealing diabetic ulcer in a 65-year-old male caused by a rare organism, Corynebacterium simulans . Now- a- days, nondiphtherial Corynebacteria are increasingly implicated in infections seen in immunocompromised patients. Hence, the clinical microbiologists should consider them as significant pathogens.
