Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this clinical study is to compare the efficacy and tolerance of 3 versus 6 weeks of antibiotherapy in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated medically.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The fight against multi-drug resistant bacteria is a global matter and a major health public issue. The excessive exposure of microorganisms to drugs increases their ability to develop survival mechanisms, causing an emerging threat and a health challenge.

Several recent studies showed that 18-35% of patients with diabetic foot infections harbored multiply drug-resistance to organisms (MDRO), the most common is Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Hospitalization, surgical procedures and long antibiotic therapy induce the development of MDRO or MRSA In diabetic foot, Osteomyelitis (DFO) is a well recognize risk factor for major amputation and mortality rates that occurs in more than 20% of moderate infections and 50% to 60 % of severe infections. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluated that reducing time of antibiotic administration (3 weeks) is not substantially worse than the current treatment guidelines (6 weeks) in DFO managed nonsurgically.
