Abstract :
BACKGROUND– The development ofwound infection depends on the integrity and prospective function of skin(1).Skin and soft–tissue infections (SSTIs) are a common presenting problem in both inpatients and outpatients(2).).Wound infection is one of the most common hospital acquired infections and important cause of morbidity and accounts for 70–80 %.(3).
AIMS– The study is conducted to find out the common organisms in skin and soft tissue infections and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern.
MATERIALS & METHODS– The study was conducted in department of Microbiology of Jorhat Medical College & Hospital between October, 2017 to March,2018.Pus,woundswabs,aural swabs collected from various clinical departments were processed according to standard microbiological techniques and Antibiotic sensitivity testing is done using Kirby Bauer,s Disc diffusion technique according to C.L.S.I guideline.
RESULTS– Out of 207 samples received 134 cases (64.73%) showed culture positivity while 73(35.27%) were culture negative. The most common organism isolated was Staphylococcus aureus (47.01%) followed by Klebsiella species (24.63%), Pseudomonas (13.43%),Escherichia coli(8.96%), Enterococcus species(3.73%) & Proteus (2.24%).Gram positive cocci were 100% sensitive to Vancomycin. Gram negative bacilli showed highest susceptibility to Imipenem& least sensitive to AmoxycillinClavulanic acid.
CONCLUSION– The study concludes that the most common organism causing skin and soft tissue infections is Staphylococcus aureus followed by Klebsiella.. However a changing pattern were noted among the organisms isolated as well as their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in various studies from different geographical locations. Hence, a local antibiotic policy based on common organisms isolated and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern can be adopted which will prevent resistance among organisms and help in early recovery from infection.
