This study examined the prevalence of various microbes isolated from diabetes-related foot infections (DFIs) within the U.S. veteran population. A total of 68 different microbes were identified. The most frequently isolated organisms were methicillin-sensitive (32.7%), coagulase-negative staphylococci (21.8%), methicillin-resistant (15.9%), (14.6%), group B streptococci (12.4%), (10.1%), (8.1%), viridans streptococci (7.3%), (6.5%), (5.9%), and species (5.6%). A better understanding of common DFI pathogens may help to guide empiric antibiotic selection when treating DFIs.
本研究调查了美国退伍军人中从糖尿病相关足部感染(DFIs)分离出的各种微生物的流行情况。共鉴定出68种不同的微生物。最常分离出的微生物是对甲氧西林敏感的(32.7%)、凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌(21.8%)、耐甲氧西林的(15.9%)、(14.6%)、B组链球菌(12.4%)、(10.1%)、(8.1%)、草绿色链球菌(7.3%)、(6.5%)、(5.9%)和种(5.6%)。更好地了解常见的DFI病原体可能有助于在治疗DFIs时指导经验性抗生素的选择。
