“…This has also been demonstrated by Khanam et al13 However, Raza et al have shown that E. coli was their most common isolate. 20 MRSA in our study was isolated in 9.8% of the samples as compared to 19% reported by Rai et al 21 Pseudomonas (17.47%) was the third most common isolate in our study, which is in accordance with the study conducted by Khanam et al 13 S. aureus showed very high resistance to penicillin G (95.5%). This is in accordance with the study by Khanam et al where 84.5% of the samples were resistant to penicillin.…”

Background: Wound infection is one of the most common causes of mortality and prolonged hospital stay worldwide. The emergence of resistant strains of bacteria poses a serious threat to the eradication of hospital-acquired infections. The objective of this study is to find the most common bacterial isolates in the pus samples and to assess their antibiotic sensitivity patterns.Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology and Microbiology, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi from August 2017 to December 2017 by using convenient sampling. The pus samples of all the patients, tested in the department, were included in the study. Sampling was done using blood and MacConkey agar and antibiotic sensitivity were done on Muller Hinton agar. Data was analyzed using SPSS v-23.0.Results: The most common bacterial isolate was Staphylococcus aureus (29.6%) followed by Escherichia coli (23.8%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.7%). S. aureus was most sensitive to vancomycin (100%) whereas E. coli and P. aeruginosa showed the highest sensitivity to imipenem (90.7%) and tazocin (80%), respectively.Conclusion: The most common bacterial isolate in pus cultures is S. aureus. Vancomycin is highly effective against S. aureus.

Objective The goal of this investigation was to look at the frequency and dispersal of bacteria isolated from pus/wound, as well as their susceptibility patterns. Materials and Methods A study was conducted on 175 patients who provided pus and/or wound discharge samples in different wards (outpatient department or inpatient department). MacConkey agar and blood agar plates were immediately inoculated with samples and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The Gram stain and biochemical tests were used to identify all isolates after incubation. Kirby–Bauer's disc diffusion method was used to perform sensitivity tests on Mueller–Hinton agar plates. Results This study covered 175 patients, with a bacterial isolation rate of 102 (58.28%). Males outnumbered females in the samples (M:F = 1.8:1), with a median age of 45 years as majority were in the age group of 40 to 60 years which was 41 (40.20%). Total 90.1% samples showed monomicrobial infection, whereas 9.8% showed polymicrobial infection, and total 112 bacterial strains were isolated. Conclusion Escherichia coli was the most prevalent isolate in present investigation, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Chloramphenicol is the only antibiotic which is effective for both gram-negative bacilli and gram-positive cocci. This report's susceptibility statistic may be worth considering for developing empiric treatment regimens for pyogenic infections.

Wound infection plays an important role in the development of chronicity by delaying wound healing, prolonging hospital stay, increasing treatment cost and is responsible for significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the bacterial epidemiology, multi-drug resistance, and associated risk factors for wound infection at health institutions in Northeast Ethiopia. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2021. Demographic, clinical, and risk factor variables were collected using a structured questionnaire. Swabs/pus from wound were collected using sterile applicator swab. Specimens were inoculated on culture media and bacterial isolates were identified using microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. A total of 229 participants were included in this study. A total of 170 bacterial isolates (74.2%) were isolated. The predominant isolates were S. aureus 80 (47.05%), followed by P. aeruginosa 29 (17.05%), E. coli 22 (12.94%), and Klebsiella spp. 16 (9.41%). Tetracycline (71.7%), clindamycin (15.2%), erythromycin (30.4%), penicillin (80.4%), and co-trimoxazole (80.4%) resistance rates were observed among Gram positive bacterial isolates. The overall prevalence of multi-drug resistance was 71%. Hence, improving the laboratory setup for culture and drug susceptibility testing is recommended for effective treatment of wound infection and to improve infection prevention and control practices in healthcare settings.
