Isolation, Identification And Antibacterial Susceptibility Pattern Of Pathogens From Wound Infection
ABSTRACT
The Isolation, Identification and antibacterial
susceptibility pattern of pathogens from wound infections were carried out. A
total of 50 wounds swabs were analyzed for isolation of pathogens. Patients
with wounds included accidents, burns ad other skin wounds were investigated in
this study. The most common pathogen isolated was Staphylococcus aureus
representing 51.2% of the total isolates followed by Escherichia coil with
29.2% occurrence. Pseudomonas aeruginosa accounted for 5 (12.1%) of the overall
isolates while Kiebsiella species accounts for 7.3 1%. A greater percentage of
the isolates were recorded in the skin infection patients with 23(56.0%)
occurrences followed by the accidents and bums wound each accounting for 21.9%.
Majority of the isolates were sensitive to Ofloxacin, gentamicin and
Nitrofurantion while showing high level of resistance to other commonly used
antibiotics like amoxicillin and Cloxacilin. It is imperative therefore to
determine the clinically significant isolates, perform antimicrobial
sensitivity testing and subsequently provide guidance on the most appropriate
treatment. This assistance will not only facilitate successful wound management
but also assist in the control of antibiotic usage and hence reduce the spread
of antibiotic resistance among bacteria.
