Abstract

Introduction: Proper management of diabetic foot infections needs identification and isolation of associated pathogens along with a selection of appropriate antibiotic therapy based on culture and sensitivity. Aims and Objectives: The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence, microbiologic, and clinical profile of subjects having diabetic feet. Materials and Methods: The present retrospective clinical study assessed bacterial culture on tissue samples, pus swabs, and bacterial pus isolates from subjects with diabetic foot admitted to the institute. Results: Enterococcus spp was seen in one subject with Grade 3 disease, streptococcus spp was seen in 1 subject with Grade 3 disease and 2 subjects with Grade 4 disease, and in a total of 3.40% (n=3) subjects, MRSA was seen in 1 subject of Grade 2 disease, 1 in grade 3, and 3 subjects with grade 4 disease, and total of 5.68% (n=5) study subjects and staphylococcus aureus was seen in 2 subjects with grade 1 disease, 2 subjects with grade 3 disease, 4 subjects with grade 4 disease, and 1 subject with grade 5 disease, and in a total of 10.22% (n=9) study subjects.
