| dc.description.abstract | Diabetic foot is a complication of diabetes mellitus that is still using antibiotic to control the infection as the
main therapy. This study aimed to determine the type of bacteria and antimicrobial sensitivity patterns in the
diabetic foot. The samples were taken from the medical records of the patients with diabetic foot, who performed
the swab culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in the inpatient and outpatient care in dr. Soebandi
Regional Hospital, Jember, Indonesia. The samples used were the patients diagnosed with diabetic foot from January
1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. The data in this study were univariately analyzed. Forty-three pathogens were
isolated from 40 patients with 12 Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamase isolates. The most common bacteria found
were Gram negative (90.7%), including Escherichia coli (33.33%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.82%) Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (12.82%), Enterobacter cloacae (7.69%) and Proteus mirabilis (7.69%). Then, there were also 9.3%
Gram-positive bacteria of all isolates, with Staphylococcus aureus as the most dominant species (50%). The
antibiotic antimicrobial susceptibility testing also showed that Imipenem, amikacin, fosfomycin, cefoxitin, and
netilmicin were the most sensitive antibiotics. The most common type of bacteria found was Escherichia coli, while
the antibiotic that was still sensitive in most bacteria was imipenem. | en_US |
