“…Out of which 72 were culture positive with an isolation rate of 1.2 organisms per sample. This is similar to studies conducted by Pramodini et al [6] and Saini et al [8] where average numbers of organisms were 1.45 organisms per sample, which correlate well with our study.…”

“…In our study, aerobes were isolated to an account of 65 out of 87(74.7%) followed by 22 out of 87(25.2%) anaerobes, similar to Pramodini et al [6] study where 50 out of 67(74.6%) organisms isolated were aerobes and the remaining 17 were anaerobes (25.4%). In contrast to present study Brook et al [9] study have recovered predominantly anaerobic organisms.…”

INTRODUCTION:Deep seated abscess occurs in various organs and are associated with high mortality and morbidity. They are often polymicrobial and a diverse group of both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial agents act as etiological agents. Appropriate identification of the causative agent along with the determination of its susceptibility pattern is essential in the better management of the patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Specimens from all the clinically diagnosed deep-seated abscesses from various sites with suspected bacterial aetiology were collected aseptically in a sterile syringe and were processed by performing gram stain followed by the culture, both aerobically and anaerobically. Organisms were identified by standard biochemical tests and antibiotic susceptibility was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. RESULTS: A total of 103 samples were processed. Out of this 72(70%) samples have shown growth of either aerobic or anaerobic or mixed growth. Out of 72 culture positive samples, in 54(75%) samples aerobic/facultative anaerobes organisms were isolated and obligate anaerobic organisms were isolated in 14(19%) samples, the remaining 4(6%) samples showed mixed growth of both aerobic and anaerobic organism. E.coli is the most common organism isolated among aerobes, and among obligate anaerobes Peptostreptococci was the most common organism isolated. CONCLUSION: To conclude, gram negative organisms were predominantly isolated from the deep seated abscess with the Enterobacteriaceae members topping the list. Anaerobic organisms were also isolated in a significant number of patients. Majority of the aerobic organisms were resistant to multiple drugs with carbapenems and vancomycin being the highly susceptible drugs for gram negative and gram positive isolates respectively.

Background: Anaerobes are recognized as important human pathogens causing severe life threatening exogenous and endogenous infection if left untreated. Anaerobes are one of the most neglected pathogens in various clinical samples due to the problem in sample handling, technical difficulties in their cultivation, and identification along with prolonged turnaround time. Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to identify the different anaerobic organisms associated with deep seated abscess and their association with various risk. Materials and Methods: Pus and fluid sample collected in sterile syringe or swab stick were immediately put in RCM and taken to the laboratory. Gram staining, ZN stain, and culture--both aerobic and anaerobic were done. Obligate anaerobes were checked for aerotolerance. Subcultures were done for identification of species level by Gram stain, colony morphology, biochemical tests, and final identification that were done by the Vitek 2 system. Results: Out of the 170 samples, 144 (84.70%) were culture positive and the rest 26 (15.29%) were culture negative; 101 (70.1%) were aerobic, 23 (16%) anaerobes, and 20 (13.9%) mixed aerobic and anaerobic. A total of 51 obligate anaerobes were isolated from various samples. Out of which 32 (62.74 %) anaerobic Gram-positive cocci-Peptostreptococcus anaerobious being the most common and 13 (25.49%) anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli --Bacteroids fragilis being most common and 6 (11.76%) were anaerobic Gram-positive bacilli - Actinomyces meyeri being the most common. Diabetes mellitus was a significant associated factor. Maximum number of anaerobes was isolated from abscess over oral cavity followed by gangrenous foot, scrotal abscess, and diabetic foot. Conclusion: Anaerobes are an important cause of deep-seated abscess—mostly being polymicrobial in nature. Incision--drainage and proper antibiotic therapy is necessary for their early control and prevention of complications.
