Description
Abstract
Aim: The present study was aimed to determine the incidence of SSIs and the prevalence of aerobic bacterial
pathogens involved with their antibiogram at tertiary care hospital.
Methods: This prospective study was done in the Department of Microbiology, Netaji Subhas Medical College
and Hospital, Bihta, Patna, Bihar. The study period of the study was one year. The patient details were recorded
including type of surgery, type of wound infection, wound class including clean, clean contaminated and
contaminated wound and total days of stay in the hospital.
Results: The patients included 14 (70%) males 6 (30%) females; the age of the patients were in a range of 17
years to 70 years. 7 (35%) patients were in age group 17-34, 8 (40) patients in age group of 35-51, and 5 (25)
patients in an age group of 52-70 years with mean age of 44.6 years. The duration of the surgery lasting less
than 2 hours has been noticed in 16 (80%) cases and in remaining 4 (20%) cases the duration of surgery was
more than 2 hours. Few cases are with the comorbidities such as 4 hypertension cases, 2 cases of chronic kidney
disease, 1 case of coronary artery disease and 1 case has been admitted with road traffic accident. A total of 11
cases (55%) of SSI were culture positive out of 20 cases. The organisms isolated were Staphylococcus species
which includes 4 MSSA (Methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus), 2 MRSA (methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus) and 1 Staphylococcus hemolyticus, two Enterococcus species which includes one
Enterococcus durans and another Enterococcus faecalis. Among gram negative bacteria that were isolated which
are specific to SSI included Pseudomonas aeroginosa and the other showed growth of Acinetobacter baumannii.
Conclusion: We emphasized on the importance of hospital infection control monitoring with proper precautions
during surgeries to reduce the load of SSI and better outcome of the treatment
