Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the biological activity of probiotic against MDR bacteria that isolated from diabetic foot infections. During the months of October 2020 to March 2021, a total of 65 specimens and investigations were collected. Specimens for diabetic foot infection were gathered from two hospitals in the province of AL-Najaf (AL-Sadder Medical City and AL-Hakeem Hospital). Swabs from diabetic foot infection patients were collected and sent to the lab, where they were streaked on MacConkey agar, a blood agar., around 40 (61.5%) exhibit positive bacterial growth culture, whereas 25 (38.5%) show negative findings for culturing. Negative growth might be due to other infection-causing agents such as anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and viruses [1]. Gram-negative bacteria had a high rate of 42 (64.4%) based on morphological and biochemical tests, with B. cepacia having a high percentage of 14 (33.3%) and A. baumanni having a high percentage of 12 (28.7%). K. pneumonia has 7 (16.6%), E. cloacae has 6 (14.4%), and no growth in 3 (7%) as shown in figure (4-2).
