Univariate analysis revealed that following factors our patients: use, hospital admission within last 6 months, being more than years, fasting glucose level above 111 mg/dl antibiotic usage months. Furthermore, use (odds ratio 3.32) months 5.75) defined as by logistic regression method. Our results suggested significantly higher who used or antibiotics
