Antibiotics and the Redox Paradox: Can Levofloxacin Actually Stall Wound Healing? #GeneExpression #AntimicrobialStewardship #ActAgainstAmputation #FriendlyFire @limbsandlungs @bradspellberg

For years, we’ve operated under a simple clinical assumption: if a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is infected, we reach for the antibiotics—often broad-spectrum heavy hitters like levofloxacin. But new molecular evidence suggests that while we are busy fighting bacteria, we may be unintentionally collateral-damaging the wound’s own healing machinery. A recent study published in Scientific... Continue Reading →
