The College of Science/Department of Biology organized a seminar entitled discussion on the( bacteria causing diabetic   foot infection). by Master's student

 Zainab Muhammad Hussein

Known as diabetic foot infection: it is inflammation of the     bones and soft tissues below the ankle. It is a common         complication of diabetes that leads to hospitalization, and the   recurrence of infection leads to amputation of the lower extremities, and the vast majority of bacteria isolated from diabetic foot ulcers are the intestinal family, which is the largest air group gram. - Negative bacteria, the most frequent of which are EColi bacteria, infections  caused  by amixture of aerobic gram negative bacilli such as Escherichia coli , Klebsiella spp , Pseudomonas spp Bacteriode, and Proteus spp, aerobic Gram positive cocci ,and obligate anaerobic organisms  such as Peptostretptococcus spp, Clostridium spp  the study aims to isolate and   diagnose bacteria by traditional methods from diabetic foot patients, diagnose serological tests, identify virulence factors, and examine drug sensitivity test

The most important virulence factors

adhesins, toxins

iron acquisition factors, lipopolysaccharide

polysaccharide capsules, plasmid
