Pattern of pathogens from surgical wound infections in a Nigerian hospital and their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles.
BACKGROUND In surgical patients, infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. A prospective study to find the pattern of microorganisms responsible for post operative wound infections and their antibiotic susceptibility profile was therefore conducted. SETTING AND METHODS Surgical wards in Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Isolation, identi...
متن کاملA Preliminary Study on Bacteriological Infections of Surgical Wounds
Surgical wound infections, better termed as Surgical Site Infections, are common and cannot be completely eliminated. But a reduction in the infection rate could have significant benefits like reduction in the postoperative morbidity and mortality, wastage of health care resources and finances. The general causes for increased predisposition to wound infections are pre-existing illness, prolong...
متن کاملPrevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacteria Isolated from Surgical Site and Bloodstream Infections of Hospitalized Patients at a Tertiary Heart Center
Background and Objectives: Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common nosocomial infections with high mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of various species among BSIs and SSIs at Tehran Heart Center, Tehran, Iran. Methods: Patients with localized or systemic infections that became evident 48 hours or more after...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance development following surgical site infections
Surgical site infections (SSIs) determine an increase in hospitalization time and antibiotic therapy costs. The aim of this study was to identify the germs involved in SSIs in patients from the Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Craiova (SCJUC) and to assess their resistance to antimicrobials, with comparisons between surgical wards and the intensive care unit (ICU). The biological samples w...
