Introduction:Diabetic foot ulcer and infections are one of the major complications in diabetic patients leading to frequent hospitalization and increased mortality. Knowledge about the microbes that cause infections will be helpful for providing appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Aim:To evaluate the bacteriological profile of patients with diabetic foot ulcers and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Methodology:A cross-sectional study was carried out for a period of eight months in the Department of surgery in patients with diabetic foot ulcer at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Patient data relevant to the study were collected using a standard data collection form designed as per the need of the study. Details of the organisms isolated and susceptibility pattern were collected from microbiology department. Results:A total of 122 pathogens were identified from 71 patients with male (63.38%) predominance over females (36.61%). Out of the 71 patients, 38 (53.52%) patients had monomicrobial infections and 33 (46.47%) patients had polymicrobial infections. Of the total 122 organisms, 79(64.75%) organisms were found to be gram negative organisms and 43(35.24%) were gram positive. Pseudomonas aeruginosa found in 22 (18.03%) patients was the predominant pathogen isolated followed by Klebsiella pneumonia found in 18 (14.75%) patients. The gram-positive organisms isolated showed maximum susceptibility towards antibiotics Teicoplanin and Linezolid while the gram-negative organisms showed susceptibility to Imipenem, Meropenem, and Piperacillin/Tazobactum combination. Conclusion:The study showed a preponderance of gram-negative bacilli among the isolates from the diabetic foot ulcers. It is recommended that antimicrobial sensitivity testing is necessary for initiating appropriate antibiotic regimen which will help to reduce the drug resistance and minimize the healthcare costs.

Diabetes mellitus is a serious public health problem worldwide. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), a major complication in Type 2 diabetes are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality around the world. To screen various bacterial pathogens present in diabetic foot ulcers and to determine their antibiotic sensitivity to actinomycetes isolated from various fields of Chandragiri, Tirupati, twenty four actinomycetes isolates were isolated and screened by primary and secondary screening methods to determine potent antibiotic producers by using test organisms. Among 24 isolates, 4 were more potent and they showed varied range of antibacterial activity of pathogens, isolated form diabetic foot ulcers. Four isolates were compared with lenezoid antibiotic. Enterococcus was resistant to lenezoid antibiotic but four actinomycetes inhibited the growth of Enterococi.
