Abstract :

 Pyoderma is one of the commonest clinical conditions encountered in Dermatological practice. The etiological agents are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and others. Staphylocci are from normal skin and may be a source of infection. In the present study we tried to correlate the features of pyoderma cases with normal skin of axilla and anterior nares Aims and objectives: To isolate and identify the bacterial organisms from clinical samples of patients with pyoderma, To study the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolates and phage typing of the Staphylococcal isolates Materials and methods: Bacterial flora from 100 cases of pyoderma and normal skin of anterior nares and axillary skin were analyzed and tested for biochemical reactions, antibiotic sensitivity and phase typing Results: Out of the 100 cases studied, 67 were males and 33 were females, with a high incidence in 0 to 10years age group Results: Staphylococcus was the commonest organism isolated in the pyoderma as well as normal skin showing resistance to Penicillin. The range of biological activity of coagulase positive Staphylococci from lesions is high when compared to carrier sites where the proportion of coagulase negative is high. Autogenous infection of 18.3%.was observed in the present study. Conclusion: The present study gives an indication of present pattern of bacterial isolates of pyoderma. And also elaborates the resistance pattern of antibiotics
