Evaluation Of The Susceptibility Pattern Of Bacteria Isolated From Post Operative Wounds Of Women Who Under Went Cesearen Section At Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, Abia State
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the bacterial isolates associated with post operative wound of women that underwent caeserean section and their susceptibility pattern to some antibiotics. Streak method of inoculation was adopted to isolate the associated bacteria and the disc diffusion method was used to test for the susceptibility pattern. Six bacteria isolates namely Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus specie, Klebsiella specie and Proteus specie were isolated. Amongst the six isolates, pseudomonas aeruginosa had the highest frequently of occurrence (29%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (24.4%), Klebsiella specie (19.5%) Escherichia coli (12%)in that order while the least was recorded against Proteus specie (49%).Among the gram positive bacteria, the high level of resistance was recorded with Streptococcus (80%) against penicillin followed by Staphylococcus aureus (70%) whiles the level of resistance was observed with Ampicillin (25%) against Streptococcus specie. The high isolation rate of aerobic bacteria and their increased resistance to the commonly used antibiotics warrant s the need to practice aseptic procedures and rational use of antimicrobial agents leading to minimize infection rate and emergence of drug resistance.
