    The study analyzed clinical and microbiological data from 85 diabetic foot patients treated between January 2021 and August 2024.

  • 2

    Gram-positive bacteria were the most common pathogens in diabetic foot infections, with Staphylococcus aureus being the predominant isolate.

  • 3

    Lipid profiles showed no significant association with pathogen distribution or antimicrobial resistance patterns in diabetic foot infections.

  • 4

    Gram-positive bacteria exhibited high susceptibility to linezolid and vancomycin, while gram-negative bacteria were most sensitive to amikacin.

  • 5

    Further prospective studies are needed to explore the role of lipid metabolism in infection susceptibility and clinical outcomes in diabetic foot patients.
