Abstract: We bacteriologically analyzed 156 species of Enterobacteriaceae, isolated from 138 patients with community-acquired diabetic foot ulcers, in a prospective study made at a diabetic center and at the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil, from March, 2000, to November, 2001.The samples were cultured using selective media, and identification, susceptibility tests and detection of plasmidmediated-extended-spectrum-β β β β β-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains were made with conventional and automated methods. The mos… Show more

“…Multidrug resistant gram negative organisms isolated include ESBL and AmpC β lactamase producing enterobacteriaceae and multidrug resistant isolates of P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter boumannii. Several studies conducted showed a progressive increase in the incidence of ESBL producing strain over years 15,16,17 . This constitute a serious threat to current beta lactam therapy leading to treatment failure in diabetic foot infection.…”

“…In a study conducted in 2001, the prevalence was only 6% amongst E.coli isolates. [4] Kapil et al, have reported 54.5 % E.coli isolates to be ESBL producers. [5] We report overall 46.51% E.coli and 44.44% K.pneumoniae isolates to be ESBL producers.…”

“…This rate was lower than the rate found among the sexually transmitted diseases (STD) suspected clinic attendees of Argentina (59.7%). [4] Liver disease due to chronic HBV and HCV infection is becoming a leading cause of death among persons with HIV infection worldwide. Therefore, it would be advisable to detect hepatitis virus co-infections in these patients at the earliest.…”

“…Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic. Certain antibiotic classes are highly associated with colonization of superbugs (Goossens et al, 2005;Motta et al, 2003). Now days, about 70% of the bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are resistant to at least one of the drugs most commonly used for treatment.…”
