Ítem Acceso Abierto Microorganismos y resistencia antimicrobiana asociada a infecciones de pie diabético(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Cordova Ortega, Andrea Damary; Heredia Cabrera, Gina Catalina; 0706076353The diabetic foot is defined as an infection, ulceration, or destruction of the tissues of the feet, with peripheral neurological and vascular damage in patients with diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of diabetic foot increases year after year, causing significant health and socioeconomic repercussions. Microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp., and Escherichia coli have been demonstrated in various studies as the main etiological agents of diabetic foot infection. This review aims to identify the microorganisms that cause these infections and the resistance they present to antimicrobial agents. The STROBE stratification conducted the methodology used in the development of this literature review, and the bibliographic references were obtained from various databases of significant influence at the national and international levels, such as PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier (Scopus), EBSCO, Latindex, and Dialnet. For the analysis and tabulation of the level of evidence and recommendations, the SIGN guidelines were used, observing a group of evidence and guidance of 1++/A in 59% of the bibliographic sources. The graphic design of the bibliographic references was executed using the Excel 2010 software application. In the conclusions, an increase of close to 200% was evidenced during the last decade of diabetic-origin amputations, caused by inappropriate antimicrobial management regarding resistance to penicillin, third-generation cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones of the etiological agents, with Staphylococcus aureus being the primary bacterium related to diabetic foot infection.
