currently am working on a research project in COMMUNITY MED dept. on newly diagnosed diabetes patients. I want to formulate a research proposal related to microbiology, community health involving diabetes patients.
this is an interesting question. People who suffer from diabetes sometimes develop diabetic neuropathy, resulting in foot ulcers and subsequent osteomyelitis (bacterial infection of the bone). This requires antibiotic treatment that is capable of managing bone infections. Antibiotic resistance is also a problem in this regard. Because microbiology deals with bacteria, antibiotic treatment and antibiotic resistance and diabetes sometimes involves the problems I just mentioned, this might be a way to combine microbiology and diabetes in a research project.
Type 2 diabetes lowers the natural immune system by reducing the level of insulin. Usually people with diabetes are more susceptible to sickness and secondary infection due to reduction of WBC.
Hi, Muduli, It's a very hot topic now, as obesity & diabetes are a world wide health problem. Mammal gut holds trillions of microbes of different types, whose balance is important for our health. And on the other hand, diet & life-style design the composition of the gut microbiota to impact health & diseases including diabetes. Similarly, sugary diets creates dysbiosis in the oral microbiome to promote gum diseases. The oral microbiome imbalance is also being linked to diabetes. So, go ahead. Good luck for you.
LEUCOCYTES or the white blood cells are the main defence of the body against infection by other microorganisms but if there is any bacterial/ viral disease in body then it will ultimately reduce the number and probably the chances of many secondary bacterial infection.
