Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed clinical outcomes of diabetic patients with foot infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms across 19 centers from May 2011 to December 2015, involving 791 patients with a median age of 62.
- - Severe infections were noted in 11% of patients, with notable complications like osteomyelitis in 36.8%, and common pathogens included S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli, with significant resistance rates found among these bacteria.
- - Key predictors for death included dialysis, isolation of Klebsiella spp., and chronic heart failure, with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus being the most frequent pathogen among rehospitalized patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multisystemic, chronic disease accompanied by microvascular complications involving various complicated mechanisms. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), and cluster of differentiation-146 (CD146) are mainly expressed by endothelial cells, and facilitate the adhesion and transmigration of immune cells, leading to inflammation. In the present study, we evaluated the levels of soluble adhesion molecules in patients with microvascular complications of T2DM.
