Surgical Site Infections in Laparotomy: A Bacteriological Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
A surgical site infection is defined as infection at surgical site within 30 days of procedure or infection within 1 year in patients with an implant or prosthesis. It may be defined clinically as presence of pain of a surgically created wound, which is accompanied by erythema, in duration and local tenderness. Pus swabs obtained from surgical wound of infected patients operated for exploratory laparotomy were included in the present study. The specimens were inoculated on Blood agar and MacConkey agar plates, and then incubated at 370C for 18-24 hours. The isolated organisms were identified by their morphological and biochemical characteristics using standard microbiological methods.
