Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Post-operative nosocomial infection possesses a constant threat to the public health where proper hygienic procedures are not maintained appropriately and antibiotics resistance is growing rapidly. Sometimes it even endangers the patient’s life undergone surgery. Treatment of nosocomial infection is becoming difficult all over the world due to increasing trend of antibiotic resistance. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of post-operative nosocomial surgical site infection, identification of the causative organisms and their antibiotic resistance pattern. We have been investigated total 294 patients undergone surgery, among them 16 (5.44%) got nosocomial infection. We found E. coli (42.86%) is the major etiologic agents of post-operative surgical site nosocomial infection following other Coliform (14.29%), P. aeruginosa (14.29%), S. aureus (14.29%), S. pyogenes (7.14%) and Klebsiella sp. (7.14%). All the pathogens were found to be resistant to more than one antibiotics though amikacin and imipenem showed best activity against the major nosocomial infection causing bacteria E. coli.
