“…Their hospital stay is increased by 7 to 12 days and they are fi ve times more likely to require readmission.The post-operative wound infections can be caused by different groups of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and protozoa. However, different kind of microorganisms can exist in polymicrobial communities, especially in the margins of wounds and in chronic wounds (Percevil and Bowler, 2004, Anaya and Dellinger, 2006and Jain et al 2014 .…”

Despite advances in infection control surgical site infections formerly called surgical wound infections, remain a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. The post-operative surgical site infection is the third most commonly reported nosocomial infections, accounting for a quarter of all such infections. The early stages of invasive infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus, also play major role in this process. In this present study a total of 50 pus samples were collected from patients having postoperative wound infections from the different surgical departments in the PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Reasearch (PSG IMSR), Coimbatore during Dec 2016 to July 2017. Identifi cation of bacterial isolates was done by standard microbiological techniques. Further, the antimicrobial susceptibilities were done against following antibiotics, Penicillin (10 units), Chloramphenicol (30mcg), Vancomycin (30mcg), Streptomycin (10mcg), Neomycin (30mcg), Ampicillin (10mcg), Amoxicillin (10mcg), Amikacin (10mcg), Gentamycin (10mcg) and Ciprofl oxacin (10mcg). Among these strains 100%, 30%, 90%, 50%, 40%, 100%, 50%, 20%, 30% and 60% were found to be exhibiting a signifi cant degree of resistance to antibiotics tested. Currently, the development of bacterial resistance has necessitated the search for new antibacterial agents to combat the infectious disease using bio-medically active different solvent extract of Tribulus terrestris for antimicrobial activity. In this present study the maximum inhibition was observed in Ethyl acetate, moderate inhibition in Ethanol, minimum inhibition in Acetone, Chloroform, Methanol and no inhibition in aqueous and Petroleum ether. The results confi rm that, the plant appears to contain substances that exhibit broad antimicrobial activity against wound pathogens.

“…4 Incidence of SSI in India reported to vary from 3.6% to 22.5%. 5 Sources of SSI dependent on type and location of the operation, as well as the wound type. Sources of SSI can include the patient's own normal flora of skin, organisms present in the hospital environment and in lower bowel surgery.…”

A comparative study of preoperative intra-incisional infiltration of ceftriaxone vs. intravenous ceftriaxone for prevention of surgical site infections

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) continues to be a major causes of post-operative morbidity, mortality since time immemorial. Many methods have been evolved to combat wound infection including concept of antisepsis and use of intravenous antibiotics. But the rate of SSI has been more or less static over the past few decades. The current study was undertaken to check effectiveness of preoperative intra-incisional infiltration of ceftriaxone for prevention of SSI.Methods: This prospective study included 120 cases. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups (60 each). Group A, considered control and received single dose of intravenous ceftriaxone (1 gm), whereas Group B, considered test and received intra-incisional ceftriaxone before starting procedure. If any evidence of SSI present, data recorded and swab sample was taken and sent for culture. Result of this analyzed for significance.Results: In category A, 15 out of 60 patients (25%) developed SSI, while in category B, 3 out of 60 patients (5%) developed SSI. Escherichia coli is the commonest (72.22%) organism responsible for SSI in our study. Mean hospital stay of patients who develop SSI is nearly two times higher than who don’t develop SSI.Conclusions: This study confirms that the preoperative intra-incisional injection of ceftriaxone has resulted in a significant reduction in SSI infection rates in all classes of wounds both clinically as well as statistically (P value < 0.005).
