Background and purpose: Diabetic foot infections are the most common problems that result in disability and hospitalization of diabetic patients. Preventive measures can decrease the incidence of diabetes and its complications thereby, reducing the economic cost of associated health services. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of predisposing factors in diabetic foot ulcer inf...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa uses T3SS to inhibit diabetic wound healing.
Diabetic foot ulcers are responsible for more hospitalizations than any other complication of diabetes. Bacterial infection is recognized as an important factor associated with impaired healing in diabetic ulcers. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most frequently detected Gram-negative pathogen in diabetic ulcers. P. aeruginosa infection has been shown to impair healing in diabetic wounds in a mann...
متن کاملEffect of Quorum Quenching Lactonase in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Comparison with Quorum Sensing Inhibitors
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram negative pathogenic bacterium involved in many human infections including otitis, keratitis, pneumonia, and diabetic foot ulcers. P. aeruginosa uses a communication system, referred to as quorum sensing (QS), to adopt a group behavior by synchronizing the expression of certain genes. Among the regulated traits, secretion of proteases or siderophores, motility an...
