Statement of the problem:

Diabetes foot ulcer is one of the most common

complication of diabetes . 15% of all amputation has been shown associated

with diabetes, while 58. % of all admitted patients with diabetes foot

ulcer end up with amputation. . The poly microbial nature of diabetic

foot ulcer and the emergence of drug resistant strains make it difficult for

management.

Objective:

To investigate the most commonly isolated bacterial pathogens

and their drug susceptibility pattern from diabetic foot ulcer patients

Methods:

A hospital based cross-sectional study will be conducted at Saint

Paul hospital ,Addis Ababa , Ethiopia from June 2017-November 2017.180

patients visiting the hospital with diabetes foot ulcer at diabetes clinic and

admitted to the ward with foot ulcer. We use convenient sampling method

. Data collected by investigator taking history, physical examination and

sample taken from wound site. Culture and sensitivity will be done at

Ethiopian public health institute.

Result:

In previous studies the most common bacterial over growth is

staphylococcus aurous. Since our research under progress the result not yet

finished

Conclusion:

Diabetes foot ulcer is common problem patients coming

St. Paul hospital . Diabetic education, screening of foot ulcer and early &

appropriate treatment will help for good outcome.

Recommendation:

Routine screening foot ulcer at diabetes clinics.
