Abstract

Wound infections are one of the most important and potentially serious complications that occur in the acute period following injury. In this study, (35) wound swap were collected from (35) patients with suspected wound infection, during the period from December (2017) to March (2018). The results of this study revealed that (74.29%) of samples was positive for bacterial culture, while (25.71%) of sample have no growth. The bacterial culture shown that (38.46%) (10 isolate) of bacterial isolates was Staphylococcus aureus followed by Pseudomonas spp. (19.23%) (5 isolate), E. coli (19.23%) (5 isolate), Klebsiella (15.38%) (4 isolate) and Proteus (7.69%) (2 isolate). In-vitro, the susceptibility of bacteria towards some antibiotics included in this study revealed that the Ciprofloxacin, are the most effective antibiotics to different types of pathogenic bacteria, while all bacteria was resistance to Ampicillin.
