ABSTRACT
Evaluation of bacterial species in patients with skin infection and their antibiogram were evaluated for the presence of inhabiting microorganism. Four (4) bacteria species were isolated which includes Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The percentage occurrence of the bacteria isolates showed that Staphylococcus aureus 33.03% had the highest percentage occurrence while Pseudomonas aeruginosa 13.76% had the lowest percentage occurrence. Other bacteria have percentage occurrence which includes Klebsiella sp., (25.67%) and Escherichia coli (27.52%) The antibiotic sensitivity test showed that Klebsiella sp. and Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to all the antibiotics, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa had 30% activity for the antibiotics used in this study. From this study, it can be said that Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli , Klebsiella sp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are implicated in the skin infections in human and their presence if not treated will lead to longterm disease in humans affected.
