Background: Wound infection is one of the major health problems that are caused and aggravated by the invasion of pathogenic organisms where empiric treatment is routine. Objective: To isolate and identify the bacteria causing wound infection and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Method: A total of 2119 wound swab and pus samples were collected during the period of January to June 2016 from a tertiary care hospital VSGH, NHL Medical College, Ahmadabad, Gujarat, India. Swabs from the wound were inoculated on different media and the isolates were identified by standard procedures as needed. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method according to ‘The Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute’ guidelines. Results: In this study 1002 bacterial isolates were recovered from 2119 samples showing an isolation rate of 47.28 %. The predominant bacteria isolated from infected wounds were Staphylococcus aureus 26.04% followed by Klebsiella 23.05%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18.346%Escherichia coli 17.76%, Acinetobacter 12.07%, and Proteus 2.59%. In Staphylococcus aureus 37.16% isolates were MRSA. all were sensitive to linezolid (100%), vancomycin (100%), doxycycline 74.60% and gentamicin 65.13%. Among the Gram negative isolates Klebsiella was predominant and showed sensitivity to imipenem 43.29% amikacin 25.10% and cefoperazone- sulbactam 30.73% and pseudomonas showed sensitivity to amikacin 31.35% , imipenem 63.24% and piperacillin-tazobactam 50.27%. Conclusion: Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequently isolated pathogen from wound swab and the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of various isolates help to assist the clinician in appropriate selection of empirical antibiotics against wound infection.
