Abstract

Aims: To determine the microbiological profile and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of organisms in diabetic foot ulcers in our population. Settings and Design: A prospective observational study Methods and Material: A prospective study was carried out on 62 patients of diabetic foot ulcers attending the Endocrine OPD. The aerobic bacterial agents were isolated and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern was studied. Results: Organisms were cultured from 90.32% cases of diabetic foot ulcers. Staphylococcus aureus (both MRSA & non� MRSA) was the commonest organism found in 36.77% cases followed by E. coli in 30.88%, Enterococci in 7.35%, Pseudomonas aerogenosa in 5.88% and Klebsiella in 5.88% of cases. Polymicrobial infection was seen in 9.68% cases. In 47.05% of the cases infections was due to gram negative organisms. Staphylococcus aureus was chiefly susceptible to Levofloxacin, vancomycin, pipracillin tazobactum, Linezolid while E.coli to Levofloxacin, Piperacillin Tazobactum, and Meropenem. Conclusion: Gram�negative organisms were most frequent type of isolate. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common type of bacteria. All bacterial isolate in our study have sensitivity for Levofloxacin, Pipracillin� Tazobactum , Linezolid, and Meropenem.
