Diabetes is now considered as most common global metabolic disease
affecting more than 150 million people worldwide. Diabetes is considered
as a major health problem facing the world as life threatening disease.
It is the seventh leading cause of death in the world. Diabetic foot
problem is the major cause of hospital bed occupancy, so this research
aimed to study the identification of bacteria isolated from diabetic
foot infections. Also to determine the susceptibility of the various
bacterial isolates to selected antibiotics commonly used in therapy of
bacterial infections. Devitalized tissue provides a favourable
environment for microbial growth and thus its removal will also reduce
microbial load. Surgical debridement has been the mainstay of treatment
of wounds of various etiologies. Due the current problems of antibiotic
resistance and the difficulties in controlling MRSA (Methicillin
Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection have led to increase interest
in maggot therapy of wound healing. The research provides several
practical recommendations which have been tested in Sudanese diabetics'
patients.
