Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows high resistance rates for multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria in wounds, highlighting urgent clinical implications.

Key Points

  • 79.4% of wound samples were culture positive, indicating a significant prevalence of infections.
  • The most common pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa, making up 33.3% of the isolates.
  • E. coli showed high resistance to ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin-clavulanate, with 73.6% and 68.4% resistance respectively.
  • Routine microbial surveillance is essential to manage the spread of multidrug-resistant infections in hospitals.
