Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Pyoderma is pyogenic infection of skin. Muilipal drug resistance is exhibited by the isolated organisms. Due to greater risk of antibiotic resistance, culture and antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated organisms become essential. In our study total 100 patients of primary pyoderma who attended Dept. of Skin and VD. At MGM medical college Aurangabad were enrolled for a period of 1 year, (Jan 2013 to Jan 2014) and studied for clinical patterns and bacteriological profile. Impetigo was the commonest clinical type (48%). . Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest organism isolated (64% )and Beta hemolytic streptococci 17% cases. The isolated strains were sensitive to to Cephalosporins(90-100%), Ciprofloxacin(90-95%) and Gentamycin (80-90%).
