“…This finding agrees with the report from India by Ruhil et al (2009) and Ranjan et al (2010) where the prevalence of P. aeruginosa was higher in male patients, as compared to the females. A similar result was reported from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, (Tekie, 2008) where the rate of P. aeruginosa infection was relatively higher in males than in females.…”

7%). Of the 177 isolates, 173 (97.7%) were resistant to at least 1 antimicrobial, while 164 (92.7%) were resistant to ≥2 antimicrobials. Resistance of isolated organisms was 76.3% to amoxicillin, 71.2% to penicillin, 56.9% to vancomycin, 39.5% to ceftriaxone and norfloxacin and 31.1% to gentamicin. The susceptibility of S. aureus was 64.4% to gentamicin but it was 100% resistant to amoxicillin. All isolates of P. aeruginosa were resistant to penicillin and amoxicillin. The rate of resistance of S. aureus to 2 or more antimicrobials was 97.8% and that of P. aeruginosa was 100%. This study confirms that the bacteria commonly implicated in post-operative wound infections: S. aureus, Klebsiella, E. coli, CoNS, and P. aeruginosa, continued to dominate and have developed high level of drug resistance to some important antibiotics. Periodic surveillance of the species of bacteria involved in post-operative wound infection and determination of their antimicrobial resistance is recommended for empirical treatment.

“…Similar findings were obtained in the study of Khosravi et al [15], in Pakistan, the median age was 35 (± 15.8) years. Similarly, Ranjan et al [16], in a referral hospital in Haryana, India found the modal age group as 21-40 years with the frequency of 146. …”

Background: The present study was conducted in the clinical lab of Microbiology department, College of Medical Sciences. The samples that were sent for culture and sensitivity from patients developing signs and symptoms collected from patients developing symptoms of SSIs in different wards as well as ICUs of this hospital were included in this study. A total of 206 pus samples were processed and result was interpreted on the basis of different tests. Isolation and identification of the organism was done by gram stains and culture growth. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method and result was interpreted as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.

Introduction: Wound infection is the one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and antibiotics resistant bacteria are the great part of complications on treatment of the infection.Objectives: The present study was conducted to isolate and identify the etiological agents of wound infection and assess the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates. Methods:The study was carried out on wound infection suspected patients visiting B and B Hospital for six months duration. The collected pus specimen were first observed macroscopically then streaked on MacConkey agar and blood agar, incubated at 37 0 C for 24 hours. The isolated bacteria were identified by macroscopic and microscopic observations and biochemical reactions. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolates was assessed by Modified Kirby Baur disc diffusion technique.Results: A total of 503 pus samples were collected; of which 43.7% showed bacterial growth. Out of a total 220 bacterial isolates; 158 (71.82%) were Gram negative and 62 (28.18%) were Gram positive bacteria. Pseudomonas spp. (34.55%) was most common followed by Staphylococcus aureus (21.36%), Escherichia coli (11.82%), Acinetobacter baumannii (11.36%), Enterobacter aerogens (8.18%), Coagulase negative Staphylococci (CoNS) (5.45%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (4.55%), Citrobacter freundii (1.36%), Streptococcus spp. (0.91%) and Enterococcus spp. (0.46%). Most of Gram negative bacteria (63.9%) and Gram positive bacteria (93.5%) were susceptible to amikacin and chloramphenicol respectively. Among 220 isolates, 138 (62.73%) were found to be multi drug resistant (MDR). All the isolates of A. baumannii were isolated from in-patients and almost 96.4% (24/25) were MDR. Conclusion:In this study, significant number of MDR strains was found as the causative agent of wound infection. So, routine microbiological analysis of the wound specimen and their antibiotic susceptibility testing are recommended that will guide medical practitioners for empirical treatment of wound infection, so as to reduce the spread of resistant bacteria.
