Abstract

The distribution of various pathogens causing wound infection was evaluated in Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal. A total of 200 pus specimens were cultured, of which 75% showed bacterial growth. Ten different species of bacteria were isolated. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism [65.3%] followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae [8%], Escherichia coli [7.3%], Coagulase negative staphylococci [6%], Pseudomonas aeruginosa
