Comparison of nasopharyngeal bacteriological profile between patients with diabetes and healthy individuals in Accra, Ghana
The nasopharyngeal bacterial flora of PLWD in Accra seems to have comparable diversities with those of non-diabetics. Nonetheless, the PLWD had a higher carriage rate of Acinetobacter baumannii but seem to have some protection against carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
