Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in diabetic foot wounds in Guangdong area. Methods Patients with diagnosis of diabetic foot between group A (from Jan 2010~Dec 2014 ) and group B (from Jan 2015 to Jan 2018) were retrospectively analyzed. We studied the bacteria distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic changes of group A and group B. Results In group B, both G+ and G- bacteria had a decreased trend while G- bacteria decreased rapidly, but the species of bacteria increased obviously just as fungi and mixed infection increased obviously. Bacteria infection in group A were mainly about Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli wihle group B were Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Aeruginosa and Fungal infection; the resistance of group B to A was lower. Conclusion In recent years, kinds of pathogenic bacteria of diabetic foot were significantly increased and the mixed infection and increased fungal infection as well as its drug resistance increased, so the early experience of medication choice of antibiotics based on drug sensitivity and treatment are the key to the treatment of diabetic foot infection.
