Surgical Site Infections: Organisms and their Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern in Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Science, Junwani, Bhilai (Chattisgarh)
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Most of the wounds are colonized by aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms that are either endogenous or exogenous. Most of the time Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus is the major culprit in these infections. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a frequent cause of morbidity following surgical procedures. The risk of developing SSIs is associated with factors, including operative procedure itself, such as wound classification, and patient-related variables, such as preexisting medical conditions. Settings and Methods: Isolation, Identification and Antibiotic sensitivity was done from patients with signs and symptoms of surgical site wound infection. Results: We included 324 surgery patients with signs and symptoms of wound infections with a span of seven months. Single bacterial pathogen was isolated from the 159 patients and multiple pathogens were identified from the 64 cases, 101 cases showed no growth. For study purpose we included only single isolated pathogen. There was high isolation of Staphylococcus aureus (98 patients 61.65%) followed by Escherichia coli (36 patients 22.64%). Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae were resistant to multiple antibiotics including third generation cephalosporins. Streptococcus sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa were less resistant. Conclusion: Infections were polymicrobial and multidrug resistant. Staphylococcus aureus is the commonest cause of surgical site infection. Also it highlights the need for effective surveillance and antibiogram guided antibiotic prescription to reduce drug resistance.
