“…They observed Pseudomonas aeruginosa (21.67%) to be predominant followed by Staphylococcus aureus (18.88%), Escherichia coli (18.18%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.78%). [6] However, Otta et al and Saltoglu et al reported Staphylococcus aureus (30%, 20%) to be the predominant isolate followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.7%, 19%) and Escherichia coli (10%, 12%) [9,19] In contrast, Konar and Das reported Pseudomonas aeruginosa (31.34%) as the most commonly isolated organism followed by Escherichia coli (23.8%) and Staphylococcus aureus (22.4%) [10]. This is similar to the findings by Shanmugam et al who reported Pseudomonas spp (16%) followed by Escherichia coli (14.6%) [15].…”

“…The most common bacterial isolates from diabetic ulcers in this study were Staphylococci species 40.8% compatible to other findings showed that Staphylococci species accounted 43.37%[23], whereas Gram negative bacteria were the most frequently pathogenic agents reported in other studies 51%[24], 56.1%[25], 61%[26], 67%[27] and 51.2%[28].Interestingly, our study revealed high rate of S. aureus 14.3%, S. epidermidis 14.3%, S. saprophyticus 9.5% and MRSA 4.8%. These results were compatible with the findings of other studies showed that S. aureus 19.4%, S. epidermidis 18.4% and other Staphylococci species 3.6%[29], Other study showed the most commonly isolated S. aureus 30%, followed by S. saprophyticus 19% and S. epidermidis 10%[30].…”

“…Although age-related immunosenescence may be associated with infection-related mortality, it is also associated with diseases such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (22,23). Moreover, there may be a difference between biological age and chronological age.…”
