Evaluation of Superficial and Deep Specimens for Isolation and Identifi-cation of Bacterial Isolates from Diabetic Foot Infections.
Worldwide, Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are a major medical, social, and economic problem reaching epidemic proportions carrying the increased risk of complications.[1,2] About 25% of the diabetics have the risk of developing foot ulceration which is one of the leading cause of mortality...

| description | Worldwide, Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are a major medical, social, and economic problem reaching epidemic proportions carrying the increased risk of complications.[1,2] About 25% of the diabetics have the risk of developing foot ulceration which is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developing coun-tries.2,3,4The most feared complication of in-fected diabetic foot ulcers is gangrene which results in amputations and occurs 10-30 times more often in diabetics. About one major am-putation in 30 seconds worldwide in diabetics and the elevated mortality at follow up, rang-ing from 13% to 40% at 1 year to 39% – 80% at 5 years requires urgent strategies towards prevention of foot ulceration and amputations.[3,5] Once the protective layer of skin is bro-ken, the deep tissues are exposed to bacterial infection that progresses rapidly. |
