Overview

Observational analysis assesses prevalence of surgical site infections in patients, indicating antimicrobial resistance challenges.

Key Points

  • Among 87 post-operative patients, positive culture growth was observed in 62.07% of cases, highlighting the prevalence of surgical site infections.
  • The overall surgical site infection rate was found to be 2.2%, indicating a significant concern within the hospital setting.
  • Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the most prevalent bacterial isolate (25.6%), emphasizing the need for targeted antimicrobial strategies.
  • Patients aged 41-50 years showed the highest incidence of surgical site infections, which calls for age-specific infection control interventions.
