Your wound culture has shown bacteria (Klebsiella and Pseudomonas). According to the report, they are sensitive only to certain strong antibiotics mainly injectable medicines, not available as oral tablets. You should meet your treating doctor or a surgeon immediately to start the right antibiotic . Only Oral medicines are not effective for this report, especially in diabetic wounds.
Next Steps
Please don’t delay treatment as diabetic foot infections can spread quickly. Keep sugar levels under control and maintain strict wound care.
