Abstract

We are appreciated the comments of Turhan V, et al. on our study about diabetic foot. The authors claimed that using superficial swab cultures leads unnecessary broadening of the anti-microbial coverage and may both lead to resistance to antimicrobial drugs and to an increased incidence of MRSA. As well-known, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in diabetic foot infections at the beginning is essential. According to the culture results to go to de-escalation were suggested by the authorities and guidelines.
