Isolation and microbial resistance determination of bacterial cultures from postcesarean wound infection patients

Abstract:

Postcesarean wound infection is a pathology associated to the health services, constitute one of major complication during pu-erperium, its origin may be due an endogenous or exogenous contamination and the patient im-mune competence. There is no epidemiological information about this infection in Ecuador and Tungurahua province, being this, one of the rea-sons to develop this work. Our research objec-tive was to identify the bacterial isolates and its microbial resistance from samples of postcesar-ean wound infection patients. 31 samples from women with postcesarean wound infection were analyzed by bacterial isolation and culture, 22 samples from the included patients, showed bacterial isolations. We identified the genus, species and microbial resistance applying the Bauer Kirby method. The bacterial agents prevailed during this work were gram positive bacteria´s. The species identified were S. epidermidis, S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. Gram positive isolates showed an increased resistance to trimetoprim-sulfametazole, clinda-mycin y erytromycin. Gram negative bacteria ex-hibited resistance to ciprofloxacine, amoxiciline-clavulanic acid y cefoxitine. We con-clude; most frequent bacterial isolation from postcesaeran wound infection were gram positive bacteria’s.
