Foot infections in diabetes (DFIs) in the out‐patient setting: an Italian multicentre observational survey

Abstract

Foot ulcers in diabetes are common and serious; the aetiology is often polymicrobial, often including S. aureus and Pseudomonas spp. Treatment in the out-patient setting is safe and effective, and penicillins together with beta-lactamase inhibitors and fluoroquinolones are the most frequent choice.
