Abstract
"Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are a common cause of morbidity and mortality. This article summarizes current knowledge regarding DFI epidemiology, disease pathogenesis, and the impact of antimicrobial resistance among DFI. An evidence-based approach to clinical assessment, diagnosing osteomyelitis, as well as medical and surgical treatment is discussed, including a review of empiric and directed antibiotic treatment recommendations. The current state and needs of the clinical literature are identified throughout, with a discussion of the supporting role of infectious diseases specialists as well as future directions of the field."Entities:
