How good is to apply bnt antibiotic ointment to a diabetic ulser.

Almost worthless: These are usually pressure related over areas that have diminished sensation and blood supply. When they become secondarily infected they will respond only to a combo of surgical debridement and systemic antibiotics. Unfortunately they often lead to amputation.
