ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE STATUS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC FOOT REQUIRED SURGICAL DEBRIDEMENT
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between microorganisms and antibiotic resistance or susceptibility in samples obtained from patients with wound debridement due to diabetic foot. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective study patients who underwent debridement for the diabetic foot in two separate referral centers between 2013 and 2018 were evaluated. Demographic data of patients including age, gender were collected. The microorganism and antibiogram results isolated from deep tissue samples taken from diabetic foot wounds were recorded. RESULTS: 84 patients (47 male, 37 female) who underwent debridement surgery due to diabetic foot were included in the study. Their ages ranged from 26 to 87 years and the mean age was 63.2 ± 16 years. Bacterial growth (29 gram-positive and 15 gram-negative) was detected in 44 (53%) samples. The most isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Only one of the staphylococci isolated in the cultures was methicillin resistant one of the Escherichia coli was extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) (+). CONCLUSIONS: Bacteria isolated in diabetic foot infection have gram (-) and gram (+) characteristics, and this should be taken into consideration when planning the treatment.
