inhibition of biofilm and virulence factor production in azole-resistant strains of isolated from diabetic foot by stabilized tin (IV) oxide nanoparticles.

The advent of nanotechnology has been instrumental in the development of new drugs with novel targets. Recently, metallic nanoparticles have emerged as potential candidates to combat the threat of drug-resistant infections. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the dreadful complications of diabetes mellitus due to the colonization of numerous drug-resistant pathogenic microbes leading to biofilm formation.

A retrospective study of ABI and TBI during the healing of ulcer among diabetic patients.

Objective: To assess the role of ABI and TBI in the detection of ulcer wounds among diabetic patients.

Methods: A retrospective approach is used to enroll 192 diabetic patients to detect their ulcer wounds using ABI and TBI index. HbA1c and lipid profile were other important variables in determining the efficacy of screening test.
