Abstract	BACKGROUND: Foot infections are a major complication of diabetes mellitus and eventually lead to development of gangrene and lower extremity amputation. Many studies reported the bacteriology of Diabetic Foot Infections (DFIs) over the past 25 years, but the results have been varied and often contradictory. AIM & OBJECTIVES: To determine the bacterial profiles of Diabetic foot Infections and the antibiotic Resistance pattern of the isolated organism. Methods: The study is designed as a prospective study. Predesigned data collection forms were obtained. The data collection is planned to carried out for duration of five months. (November 2015 to March 2016). RESULTS: During this period, A total of 42 cases were Analysed.Among these 13% was Staphylococcus Aureus, following 10% E.coli, and 5% Klebisella spp.. As for Linezolid (53.8%) was the most effective antibiotic against Staphylococcus Aureus Isolates and Levofloxacin (7.69%) was the least effective antimicrobial and more resistant to Co-trimoxazole (38.4%). As for E.coli, Amikacin is more sensitive (60%) than Co-trimoxazole and Gentamycin. Ciprofloxacin and Amoxicillin (50%) were the most resistant Antibiotics. CONCLUSION: Among Gram positive and Gram Negative organism, Staphylococcus Aureus and E.coli were the most frequent organism isolated Respectively.
