The entire IDSA guideline on diabetic foot infection doesn't include the word "cefepime." Not once.
It does recommend piperacillin-tazobactam in certain cases.
I'm not saying you *can't* use cefepime (you absolutely can and should in some cases), but such therapy isn't guideline-directed. 🤷♂️

We largely quit when Biden’s CDC started saying “COVID evolved to be mild” in 2022 and even stopped tracking cases the summer before the election in 2024. whn.global and @peoplescdc.org are actual apolitical public health orgs. Also I still trust medical specialty orgs like IDSA.
