Diabetes mellitus is a global epidemic and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of its serious complications. Diabetic foot infections are mixed bacterial infections and proper management of these infections requires an appropriate antibiotic selection based on the isolated organism. Type 2 diabetic patients affected with DFU and examined under Wagner‘s classification 1-5 were included in the study. Two swabs were collected from diabetic foot ulcer of each patient and the aerobic bacteria were identified and their antibiogram was studied. It was found that of the wounds were monobacterial and were polybacterial in nature. | Aerobic bacterial profile of diabetic foot ulcers and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern
