Implication

Cross-sectional study shows high rates of multidrug-resistant bacteria causing surgical site infections in post-caesarian women, highlighting urgent need for improved antimicrobial stewardship.

Key Points

Main finding indicates that 78.8% of pathogens isolated post-caesarian section were multidrug-resistant bacteria.
The predominant pathogen was Klebsiella pneumoniae, comprising 29.9% of isolates, followed by Staphylococcus aureus at 28.3%.
Methods involved collecting pus swabs from 175 women with surgical site infections for culture and antimicrobial testing.
Results underscore the need for enhanced infection prevention and monitoring strategies in surgical practices.
