The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from patients with diabetic foot ulcers

Abstract

Abstract:The aim of the present study was to determine the microbiological profileand antibiotic susceptibility patterns of organisms isolated from diabetic footulcers.Pus and debrided tissue samples from 46 patients with diabetic foot ulcerscollected and processed.Bacterial isolates were identified by using different microscopicalexamination, cultural characteristics and biochemical tests. Sensitivity tests wereperformed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Out of 46 patients , male(73.9%) were found to be affected and develop foot infection more than female
