Characterization of Microbial Profiles and Antimicrobial Resistance in Diabetic Foot Ulcers at a Tertiary Care Facility in Northern China
The proportion of GNB is greater than that of GPB, primarily found in patients with moderate to severe DFI, who exhibit higher levels of inflammatory markers and more severe infections. However, S. aureus remains the most common microorganism in DFI. When using antibiotics, especially for patients with mild infections, coverage for common GPB, including S. aureus, should be considered, while for patients with moderate to severe infections, coverage should include common GNB.
