Objective To study the pathogenic bacteria infection in hospitalized diabetic foot patients in the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province and its correlation with different Wagner grades,to understand the the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria and related risk factors in hospitalized diabetic foot patients in the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province,and to further provide theoretical guidance for anti-infection treatment of these patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the demographic data,severity of foot ulcers,and related laboratory test results of 536 patients with diabetic foot who were detected to have bacterial infection in the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2019 to January 2023.Results Among the 536 diabetic foot patients,pathogenic bacteria were cultured from 268 cases(50.0%)of Gram-positive bacterial infections,214 cases(39.9%)of gram-negative bacterial infections,2 cases(0.4%)of fungal infections,and 52 cases(9.7%)of mixed bacterial infections.The main pathogens among gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecalis.for Gram-negative bacteria,the main pathogens were Escherichia coli,Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae.There were 31 cases of multi-drug resistant bacteria,and the multi-drug resistance rate was(5.78%).Among Gram-positive bacteria,all multidrug-resistant strains were Staphylococcus aureus,while among Gram-negative bacteria,the multi-drug resistant strains included Acinetobacter baumannii(1 case),Klebsiella pneumoniae(2 cases),Proteus common(2 cases),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5 cases),Proteus mirabilis(1 case)and Enterobacter cloacae(1 case).The 536 patients were divided into Wagner grade 1 and 2 groups(78 cases),Wagner grade 3 group(274 cases),and Wagner grade 4 and 5 groups(184 cases).There were 73 cases of single bacterial infections and 5 cases of mixed bacterial infections in Wagner grade 1 and 2 group,including 51 cases(65.4%)of gram-positive bacteria,21 cases(26.9%)of gram-negative bacteria and 1 case(1.3%)of fungi.There were 248 cases of single bacterial infections and 26 cases of mixed bacterial infections in Wagner3 group,with 144 cases(52.6%)of gram-positive bacteria,103 cases(37.6%)of gram-negative bacteria,and 1 case(0.4%)with fungi.In the Wagner grade 4 and 5 groups,there were 163 cases of single bacterial infections and 21 cases of mixed bacterial infection,with 73 strains(39.7%)of gram-positive bacteria,90 strains(48.9%)of gram-negative bacteria and 0 strain(0%)of fungi.The predominant infectious pathogens in Wagner grades 1,2 and 3 were gram-positive bacteria,while those in Wagner grades 4 and 5 patients were mainly gram-negative bacteria.There were statistically significant differences in white blood cell counts,neutrophil percentage,bacterial classification,length of hospital stay,erythrocyte sedimentation rate and albumin levels among diabetic foot patients with different Wagner grades(P<0.01).With the increase of Wagner grade,patients had higher white blood cell counts and hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels,longer hospital stays,and lower albumin levels;however,there were no statistically significant differences in age,sex,duration of diabetes,smoking history,alcohol consumption history and history of hypertension(P>0.05).Conclusion The bacterial infection situation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers is related to different Wagner grades.The higher the Wagner grades,the greater the likelihood of infection with gram-negative bacteria.Antibiotics can be reasonably selected according to the Wagner grades of patients upon admission,actively controlling infection,while also enhancing,shortening hospital stays,and reducing amputation rates,thereby improving the prognosis of diabetic foot patients.

Objective To analyze the bacterial distribution characteristics,drug resistance characteristics and related risk factors of multidrug-resistant organisms(MDRO)in patients with diabetic foot infection(DFI)in some areas of Yunnan Province to provide empirical reference for clinical treatment.Methods Clinical data of 300 DFI patients admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2019 to December 2023 were collected.Based on the results of drug sensitivity tests and matching of basic data,patients were divided into the MDRO group(n=60)and the non-MDRO group(n=240).A retrospective analysis was conducted on the distribution of pathogenic bacteria,drug resistance characteristics of MDRO and risk factors for MDRO infection in DFI patients.Results In 60 patients with MDRO infections,62 strains of MDRO were cultured,with 58 strains from single MDRO infections and 4 strains from mixed MDRO infections.Of the 60 patients,2 were cultured for 2 types of MDRO.Among the strains,there were 45 gram-positive bacteria(72.58％)which were all Staphylococcus aureus,17 strains of gram-negative bacteria(27.42％)mainly including Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae.Among common MDRO,Staphylococcus aureus showed complete resistance to penicillin G and oxacillin(100％),with high resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin(＞80％),but no resistance to tigacycline vancomycin was observed.The resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae to cephalosporin antibiotics was obvious,and the resistance rate to imipenem and amikacin was low.Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 100％resistant to ticacillin/clavulanate potassium,imipenem,tigacycline and cotrimoxazole,but showed no resistance to cefepime,ciprofloxacin,gentamicin and amikacin.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in regional distribution,duration of diabetic foot,lower extremity arterial disease,venous plasma glucose levels and glycosylated hemoglobin(P＜0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that region and duration of diabetic foot disease were independent risk factors for MDRO infection in DFI patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion In some areas of Yunnan Province,the distribution of MDRO in DFI patients is mainly gram-positive bacteria,with varying antibiotic sensitivities among different pathogens.Multiple factors lead to MDRO infections in DFI patients,which assists clinical practitioners in early identification of high-risk DFI patients with MDRO infections and provide empirical reference for clinical treatment.
