| Abstract | ||
| This study was employed to isolate and identify aerobic bacterial species of diabetic foot ulcers in diabetes mellitus patients. The isolated bacteria were also examined for their susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics. Polymicrobial infections were observed in 15(50%) of patients, single etiology in 14(46.6) of patients and 1 case was culture negative of the isolated bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest 21(70%) followed by Escherichia coli 11(36.6) isolates. Meropenem, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin were the most effective antibiotics against tested isolates. | ||
