摘要: This study reports the efficacy of maggot therapy in treatment diabetic foot ulcer infected with multidrug resistant microorganisms. A 74 year old female patient diabetes for over 30 years, was treated using larvae Chrysomya megacephala. The microbiological samples were collected to evaluate aetiology infection. done 43 days resulted a reduction necrosis and ulcer's retraction 0.7 cm [2] area. Analysis bacteriological swabs revealed presence Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Further studies need be confirm role wound healing large sample proper design.
