Overview

Prospective cohort study found a 17.9% SSI incidence in abdominal surgeries, highlighting the severe implications of antimicrobial resistance.

Key Points

  • Surgical site infections occurred in 17.9% of patients after abdominal surgery, indicating a significant risk.
  • Enterobacteria identified were primarily resistant, with 50% showing an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype.
  • A total of 328 patients were studied, and most SSIs were treated with wound care rather than antibiotics.
  • The study suggests implementing multimodal prevention strategies to mitigate SSIs and combat antimicrobial resistance.
