Hello and welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
If a particular infection is not responsing to antibiotics--,reasons may be as follows,
-bacterias must have develped antibiotic resistance
-secondary infection by some other microrganism
underlying medical condition like diabetes mellitus,liver disease ,kidney disease
-presence of excessive debris around the infected site.
I recommend take follow up from your treating physician/surgeon.Local swab/discharge/tissue sample cultures may be tested for testing antibiotic resistance.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks
