[Microbiological profile of postoperative infection in current oncology surgery]

To analyze in-hospital infection in oncology center within 2012-2016.

There were 98 patients with nosocomial infection who underwent surgery for malignancies. Microbiological examination of biological materials was carried out by appropriate laboratories according to generally accepted methods.

Mono- and polymicrobial infection was observed in 58 and 42% of cases. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common agent in patients with microbial infection. Minimal inhibitory concentration of vancomycin (MIC) ≥1.0 μg/ml was revealed in 60% of microbes. Microbial agents isolated were resistant to antibacterial drugs used to prevent postoperative infectious complications.

In-hospital infection was accompanied by staphylococci as a rule. Causative agents of nosocomial infections are usually resistant to conventional antibacterial drugs. Moreover, 60.1% of microbes had minimal inhibitory concentration of vancomycin ≥1.0 μg/ml that indicated the need for alternative therapeutic agents.
