Abstract

The current study aimed to isolate and diagnose multiple antibiotic-resistant S. aureus (SA), especially ORSA, MRSA (Oxacillin or Methicillin Resistant SA), and VISA, VRSA (Vancomycin-intermediate or Resistant SA) from different diabetic foot ulcers. In addition to studying the prevalence of resistance to treatments with the presence of various types of zinc nano-particles among the resistant bacterial isolates and determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of specific antibiotics, zinc oxide, and peroxide in nano-sizes, and the synergistic effect of selected antibiotics as a protocol procedure of treatment with routine antibiotics.
