Context:
Wound infection increases the hospital stay and adversely affects the recovery of patients. Culture and sensitivity of wound isolates help in proper diagnosis and management of these patients.
Aim:
To identify common bacteria causing wound infections and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern.
Study Design:
A cross-sectional study.
Place And Duration Of Study:
Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur from October 2013 to October 2015.
Materials And Methods:
Pus samples were collected by doctors in ward using Sterile Swab Sticks. Bacterial isolates were identified and cultured, and antibiotic culture sensitivity tests were performed.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Chi-square test.
Results:
There were a total of 150 patients with infected wounds. Most common organism isolated was Pseudomonas followed by Klebsiella and Staphylococcus aureus. All of these organisms were resistant to most routine antibiotics.
Conclusion:
We suggest a multidisciplinary approach to wound management, rational drug use, routine microbiological surveillance of wounds and institution of hospital infection control policy.
