Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Klebsiella, as key pathogens in surgical site infections.

Key Points

  • To identify the prevalence and types of organisms causing surgical site infections in surgical patients.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional observational study at a tertiary care hospital.
  • Included 343 patients with surgical site infections from January to December 2024.
  • Collected data on demographics and pathogens from pus cultures using standard microbiological techniques.
  • Most common pathogens were Klebsiella spp. (20.4%), Enterobacter spp. (12.5%), Escherichia coli (12.2%), and Staphylococcus aureus (8.7%).
  • 12.5% of patients showed no growth on culture, while a few had mixed growth (0/9%).
  • Gram-negative bacteria were more frequently implicated than Gram-positive organisms.
