Change in trend of bacterial isolates amongst patients of post-operative surgical site infections of G and O ward of a tertiary care hospital and medical college at Kishanganj, Bihar
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Microbiology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Context: A two year study done on post-operative surgical site infections among G and O patients of this hospital to observe bacterial isolate pattern and drug resistancy in this area of Bihar and adjoining West Bengal. Aims: to identify bacterial isolates and to compare type of isolates with drug resistancy pattern of last two years. Methods and Materials: The present study include swab and Pus samples taken from post operative surgical site infections of G and O ward and aerobic culture and sensitivity examination done in our tertiary care teaching hospital. All results were rechecked in VITEK-2 automated system from a NABL accredited laboratory. Results: A gradual increase in number of post operative surgical site infections and the alarming obvious changes in bacterial isolates noticed when compared between 2013-14 and 2014-15 year departmental records. Conclusion: Emerging bacterial isolates are noticeably multidrug resistant. This study clearly indicates the importance of periodic review of hospital infection policy and subsequent change in hospital antibiotic policy.
