Study of the efficacy and efficacy of the bactericidal serum in patients with diabetes and its comparison with healthy people

Abstract

This study which included (45) diabetic patients at age groups (11-71) years, fifteen male and thirty females compared with normal control, 5 male and 10 females showed a significant decrease in the bactericidal activity of the serum using diabetic sera containing high glucose concentration while those containing low glucose concentration showed a clear bactericidal activity. The results also showed a significant a decrease in the phagocytic activity of neutrophiles among the diabetic patients compared with the control group. The isolates of Alcaligenes showed sensitivity toward non-immunized human serum, A. faecalis showed high sensitivity toward the serum while the subsp A. Xylosoxidans. denitrificans and A, Xylosoxidans xylosoxidans are showed different sensitivity toward non -immune serum after (3) hours of incubation.
