Resumo(s)
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent chronic progressive disease with complications that
include diabetic-foot ulcers.
Methods: Enterococci isolated from diabetic-foot infections were identified, evaluated by macrorestriction
analysis, and screened for virulence traits and antimicrobial resistance.
Results: All isolates were considered multidrug-resistant, cytolysin and gelatinase producers, and the
majority also demonstrated the ability to produce biofilms.
Conclusions: These results indicate the importance of enterococci in diabetic-foot infection development
and persistence, especially regarding their biofilm-forming ability and resistance to clinically relevant
antibiotics.
