A Survey of the Microbiome, Culturome and ARG Profile of a Cohort of Chronic Diabetic Foot Lesions
ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyse the microbiome of chronic infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) using parallel methods: traditional culture (the culturome), 16S rRNA gene sequencing (the microbiome) as well as the Antibiotic Resistance Gene (ARG) profile of isolated strains. Swab samples were collected in parallel from affected ulcers.

Local Versus Systemic Antibiotics for Diabetic Foot Infection—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Combined local and systemic antibiotic therapy improved clinical cure rates and shortened healing time in diabetic foot infections compared with systemic therapy alone. However, due to the low quality of existing studies, high‐quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings. ABSTRACT Diabetic foot infection (DFI) includes soft
