Background: Identifying and isolating related microorganisms is necessary for the proper management of diabetic foot infections. A suitable antibiotic medication should be chosen depending on the pathogen's culture and sensitivity.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical profile, microbiologic makeup, and prevalence of individuals with diabetic foot disease.
Methods: In this retrospective clinical study, participants with diabetic foot who were hospitalized to the institute had their bacterial cultures evaluated on tissue samples, pus swabs, and bacterial pus isolates. Results: MRSA was seen in 1 subject with Grade 2 disease, 1 in Grade 3, and 3 subjects with Grade 4 disease, and a total of 5.68% (n=5) study subjects. Enterococcus spp. was seen in 1 subject with Grade 3 disease, streptococcus spp. in 1 subject with Grade 3 disease, and 2 subjects with Grade 4 disease. With 5, 3, 4, 2, and 8 study participants with grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Pseudomonas spp. had the highest prevalence, accounting for a total of 25% (n=22) study subjects. In 14,77% (n=13) of the study participants with 4, 2, 3, and 4 subjects with grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 disorders, respectively, proteus species were observed.
Conclusion: The current investigation suggests that when Wagner's grade rises, gram-negative bacteria become more prevalent. Frequent tracking of antibiotic resistance patterns is necessary to determine the empirical antibiotic therapy.
