Microbiological and Antimicrobial Resistance profile of isolates from Surgical Site Infections: a study in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Keywords:
Wound Infections, Surgical Site infections, Hospitals, Bacterial profile, Antibiotic drug resistanceAbstract
Post-operative wound infections or surgical site infections (SSIs) cause critical healthrelated infections resulting in longer hospital stays, increased healthcare expenses, patient’s discomfort and are likely to have an important role in the growth of antimicrobial resistance. Staphylococcus is the most common bacterial organism causing wound infections in hospitals. The present study was done to identify aerobic cultural isolates from post-operative infected wounds and to study the drug susceptibility profile of the bacterial isolates. Staphylococcus aureuswere the most commonly isolated bacteria followed byE. coli, K. pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteusmirabilis, and Acinetobacterbaumanii complex. The drug resistance susceptibility profile showed high rate of drug resistance to most commonly used drugs like gentamicin, ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone.
