Abstract

Introduction: Pyogenic wound infections caused by various pathogens like bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites are difficult to treat because of change in antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and lack of awareness about judicious use of antimicrobials. Hence it is important to study the pathogens causing the infections and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern for proper management of the patients.

Material & methods: This observational study was conducted for a period of 6 months. A total of 772 pus samples were collected and identified by standard microbiological procedures and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing as per CLSI 2018 guidelines. Staphylococcal isolates were screened for methicillin and inducible clindamycin resistance. Gram negative isolates were screened for extended spectrum
