Retrospective analysis identifies common pathogens and resistance patterns in wound infections, suggesting improvement strategies.

The study revealed Klebsiella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus as the most common pathogens in wound infections.
Among 425 samples, 375 (88.23%) showed bacterial growth, with Gram-negative bacilli predominating at 321 (73.79%).
Most Gram-negative bacteria were sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam and meropenem, but less so to linezolid and vancomycin.
The findings indicate a need for antibiotic stewardship programs due to rising resistance among common wound pathogens.

Shutao Ma (2024) studied this question.
