Study of Biofilm Formation and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Bacteria Isolated from Diabetic Foot Ulcers in Hôpital de Référence Saint Joseph, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract: Foot infections resulting from biofilm producers and multi-drug resistant organisms is one of the most important complications of diabetes mellitus, as it can impede the wound healing process. This study was carried out in order to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern and the biofilm production in diabetic foot ulcers isolates. Clinical samples were collected from patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers by using sterile swabs. Antibiotic susceptibility test was done using disk diffusion method on M… Show more

“…In supplementary table 2 we reported Carbapenem resistance pattern of bacterial isolates from DFU patients in sub-Saharan Africa. Some of the concerning results were reported from Congo with P. aeruginosa [10 (90.9%)] and E. coli [2 (100.0%)] resistance rates towards Imipenem 32 . Other alarming results were reported from Sudan and Ethiopia with K. pneumonia 7(33.3%) and 5(27.8%) resistance rate towards Meropenem, respectively 29 , 31 .…”
