AI-generated Abstract
This research investigates the aerobic bacterial profile of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. The study focuses on type 2 diabetic patients categorized under Wagner's classification. It reveals that a majority (80.70%) of wounds were monobacterial, with Gram-negative bacteria being more prevalent than Gram-positive. The findings suggest that Aminoglycosides and Fluoroquinolones are effective against Gram-negative bacteria, while Tetracyclines and Oxazolidinones are effective against Gram-positive bacteria. Prompt antibiotic initiation and tailored therapy based on local antibiogram patterns are essential for reducing complications associated with DFUs.
