Studies on the Effect of Antibiotics on Bacteria Isolated from Diabetic Wound Infection

Senthil Kumar.R, P. Gowsalya

Abstract: The study was to investigate the drug resistance bacteria isolated from diabetic wound infected pus sample. Totally, five bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pnemoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogens were identified. In antibiotic sensitivity test, twelve antibiotics were used against the pathogens. The E. coli highly sensitive to norfloxacin (30 mm), chloramphenicol and tetracycline (each 24 mm), Klebsiella pnemoniae most sensitive to erythromycin (24 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptible to chloramphenicol and rifampicin (each 20 mm), Staphylococcus aureus highly sensitive to tetracycline (24 mm), chloramphenicol (22 mm), rifampicin (20 mm) and Streptococcus pyogens highly sensitive to chloramphenicol (30 mm). All the five isolates were resistance to ampicillin, oflaxacin and penicillin G.
