Abstract (2. Language): 
Diabetic foot infection is an important complication in Diabetes mellitus. Despite recent medical advances in the treatment foot infection remains a major cause for morbidity and mortality in patients with this disorder. Proper management of these infections requires microbial isolation, appropriate or accurate selection of antibiotics. Understanding the bacteriology and accuracy of culture methods is important in selecting antibiotics in these patients AIM: To study the bacteriological profile of diabetic foot ulcers and to find out the antimicrobial susceptibility of those organisms METHODS: A total of 150 patients attending the medical college hospital at Tirupati , Andhra Pradesh over a period of 6 months. RESULTS: Escherichia. coli was the commonest organism followed by Proteus. mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus. Gram negative organisms were sensitive to Imipenem, Piperacillin/Tazobactum, Amikacin and third generation Cephalosporins. Gram positive organisms were sensitive to Vancomycin. CONCLUSION: Gram negative organisms were more common in diabetic foot ulcers and are sensitive to number of widely used antimicrobial agents.
