Diabetic foot is one of the serious complications of diabetes, which brings heavy burden to patients. The occurrence of diabetic foot is associated with many factors, including neuropathy, vascular disease, infection and immune dysfunction. Infection is one of the core factors that cause foot gangrene and aggravate the disease. Effective anti-infection treatment is the key measure to curb the deterioration of the disease. It is important to understand the characteristics of pathogen resistance in patients with diabetic foot infection and develop effective treatment strategies. It is helpful to develop an individualized treatment plan for patients, thereby improving the treatment effect, reducing the risk of amputation, improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients, and providing a basis for rational use of antibiotics and reducing the generation of drug-resistant bacteria, which has important guiding significance in clinical practice. This review mainly describes the current domestic and foreign research progress on drug resistance characteristics and treatment of pathogenic bacteria of diabetic foot infection.
