Overview

Prospective observational study evaluated the incidence and microbiological profile of SSIs, revealing endemic multidrug-resistant pathogens.

Key Points

  • The incidence of surgical site infections was recorded at 12.6%, highlighting a concerning prevalence in postoperative patients.
  • Escherichia coli emerged as the most common bacterium, isolated in 50% of positive cultures, indicating a significant hospital risk.
  • Standard microbiological techniques were employed to assess antibiotic resistance, including the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method.
  • Surveillance of microbial patterns and antibiotic resistance is vital to inform effective hospital antibiotic policies.
