Current microbial isolates from wound swabs, their culture and sensitivity pattern at the niger delta university teaching hospital, okolobiri, Nigeria.

摘要: Background: Wound infections continue to be problematic in clinical practice where empiric treatment of is routine. Objectives: A retrospective cross-sectional study determine the current causative organisms wound and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH), Okolobiri, Bayelsa State Nigeria. Methods: Records swabs collected from 101 patients with high suspicion infection were analysed. Smears inoculated on appropriate media cultured. Bacterial colonies Gram stained microscopically examined. Biochemical tests done identify pathogen species. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used for testing. Results: Prevalence 86.13% (CI: 79.41–92.85). Most bacteria negative bacilli Pseudomonas aeruginosa being most prevalent isolated. bacterial isolates exhibited a degree resistance antibiotics tested (42.8% 100% resistance). All resistant cloxacillin. Age group sex did not exert any effect prevalence, aetiological agent or antimicrobial pattern. Conclusion: We suggest multidisciplinary approach management, routine microbiological surveillance wounds, rational drug use institution strong control policies.
