Isolation And Antibiotics Susceptibility Of Staphylococcus Aureus And Pseudomonas Aeruginosa From Wound Infection

ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa from wound infection are investigated. A total of ten specimens were collected from Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. The ten Specimen consists of Boils (5), Bums (2) and Septic caesearean wound (3). Out of the ten bacterial isolates obtained from wound culture, Gram - positive Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant bacteria (66.6%) followed by Gram - negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (33.3%). The bacterial isolates Gram — positive Staphylococcus aureus was twice than the gram - negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gram negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa were sensitive to Gentamicin, Pseudomonas aeruginosa shows the highest resistance in I Tetracycline,, gram-positive isolates Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to I Gentamicin and Penicillin. This study highlight specifically on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their antimicrpbial profile among wound infections.
