Author(s): Anjali Agarwal*, Ujjwal Maheshwari, Jyoti Srivastava and Seema Bose
Introduction: Hospital acquired infection (HAI) are the common source of infection in hospital set up especially surgical site infection (SSI) which is common after surgery. Various factors responsible for SSI are host factors like patient’s immunity and socio-economic status, infecting micro-organisms, different surgical procedures, and hospital environment. It may lead to morbidity and mortality and increase the cost of hospital stay. Aim: The present study was conducted to know the bacteriological profile of post-operative wound infections and their antimicrobial resistance profile in a tertiary care hospital set up. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted with a total of 521 pus samples collected in two sterile swabs. One for direct gram staining and other for culture. Pus sample .. Read More»
