The study aimed to evaluate changes in the microflora in patients treated with\n                    <jats:italic>L sericata<\/jats:italic>\n                    larvae due to leg ulcers and diabetic foot. One hundred twenty\u2010nine patients diagnosed with lower limb ulceration and diabetic foot were enrolled in the study, of which 80 of them met the eligibility criteria for maggot debridement therapy (MDT). On the contrary, 49 unqualified patients were offered ozone therapy (22 with leg ulcers; 27 with diabetic foot). In each of these patients, a microbiological swab was performed before and after the start of therapy. The group of 80 patients was further divided into four equal groups in terms of the treated area (lower leg vs foot) and the number of larvae\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    (5 vs 10). Twenty\u2010three particular species of bacteria in the infected wound were studied microbiologically in terms of presence\/absence within the wound environment before and after treatment of patients with diabetic foot and lower limb ulceration. It was noted that there was a more intensive bacterial accumulation in the feet of patients compared to legs; furthermore, this applies to almost all analysed species. Diabetes status is also a clinical factor that generates a lower chance of bacterial appearance in the wound environment. Densification of MDT larvae per wound area unit also reduced the chance of the presence of\n                    <jats:italic>Corynebacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                    species, Enterobacteriaceae,\n                    <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    MSSA, and\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus coagulase negativa<\/jats:italic>\n                    ; however, it increased the likelihood of occurrence for\n                    <jats:italic>Proteus mirabilis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and the\n                    <jats:italic>Proteus<\/jats:italic>\n                    species.
