The incidence of diabetes has been increasing year by year. Long-term growth in blood sugar causes complications such as diabetic foot ulcer and infections, which will increase the difficulty of ulcer treatment. The diabetes brings great pain and heavy economic burden to patients and their families. In view of the above problems, a nano-silver antibacterial dressing is synthesized in this paper to control bacterial infection on the ulcer surface and promote wound healing. This paper describes the preparation process and morphological characterization of nano-silver antibacterial dressings. 100 patients were selected, which divided into two groups for comparative experiments. The conventional group used conventional vaseline dressing, and the control group was nano-silver antibacterial dressing. The ulcer surface healing time, the number of dressing changes, and the control of infection were analyzed separately, and statistical analysis was performed with SPSS19.0. The experimental results are as follows. The use of nano-silver antibacterial dressing can significantly reduce the incidence of infection in diabetic foot patients, which is helpful to reduce the number of dressing changes, shorten the healing time of ulcer, and accelerate the turnover rate. It helps to shorten the course of diabetic foot, and it is recommended to promote its clinical application.

Biofilm Production

Diabetes mellitus is a significant health problem worldwide that affects approximately 171 million people; severe complications lead to the development of diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic ulcer infections are mainly polymicrobial in nature and multidrug-resistant (MDR), which is capable of forming a biofilm, which is the important virulence factor results in treatment failure. The main objectives of this study to investigate the etiologic agents of diabetic foot infections, their antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation. A total of 200 patient samples were taken from diabetic foot ulcer patients between September 2015 and February 2016. Isolation and identification of microorganism were made according to standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic Susceptibility testing performed by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method and the biofilm production was performed by the tube method and Congo Red Method. Out of 200 samples processed,  110 (55%) were polymicrobial, 50 (25%) monomicrobial and 40(20 %)culture Sterile. The most common organism isolated were 82(39%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa,45(21%) Staphylococcus aureus, 48(23%) Candida sp followed by others. Biofilm production was seen in 112 (53%) of the isolates. Antimicrobial drug  resistance was higher among 92(82%) biofilm producers than non-biofilm 20(18%) producing microorganisms. Organisms isolated from chronic diabetic foot ulcers cases were multidrug-resistant and biofilm producers. Our study shows the importance of biofilm screening with the usual antibiogram, as a routine technique in diabetic foot ulcers patients for effective treatment.
