Overview

Analysis highlights antibiotic sensitivity for Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in surgical patients, suggesting effective treatments.

Key Points

  • Linezolid and ofloxacin effectively treated surgical site infections identified in 96 out of 104 swab samples, with others showing no growth.
  • Among isolates, Staphylococcus aureus was found in 18 cases, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa was present in 24 cases, indicating prevalent infections.
  • Assessment utilized the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method in alignment with CLSI guidelines to determine antibiotic sensitivity patterns.
  • Study underscores the importance of monitoring antibiotic resistance for effective surgical infection management, highlighting multidrug-resistant isolates.
