BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDY OF WOUND

BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDY OF WOUND
 
ABSTRACT
 
The majority of dermal wounds are colonized by anaerobic microorganisms that originate predominately from mucosal surfaces such as those of oral cavity and gut. The analysis was carried out in the Microbiology Laboratory, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, Anambra State for the bacteriology study of wound. 10 Samples were collected from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, Anambra State. From the wound samples, four genera of bacteria were isolated which are; Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus. The identified isolates were tested to ten 10 antibiotics, 100% where sensitive to ciprofloxacin, 50% to septrin, peflacin, Chloramaphenicol, and to septrin. A large variety of microorganism should resistance to different antibiotics tested. The antibiotic sensitivity of isolates revealed that a large number of multi resistant strains were prevalent in the hospital environment.
