Discussion

This observational analysis found prevalent bacteria in open wounds, indicating risks and the need for better antibiotic stewardship.

All wound samples tested positive for bacterial presence, with Staphylococcus aureus being the predominant pathogen.
63% of isolates were gram-positive cocci, and 37% were gram-negative rods, highlighting diverse infection sources.
Assessment involved biochemical tests and antibiotic sensitivity testing against 12 antibiotics, revealing significant resistance issues.
Findings emphasize the necessity for antibiotic stewardship programs to combat rising drug resistance among pathogens.

Arooj et al. (2023) studied this question.
