The aim is to characterize microbial profiles and antibiotic resistance in chronic wound infections.
Clinical data and microbial specimens were collected from patients admitted from January 2019 to December 2023.
Bacterial identification and susceptibility testing followed standard microbiological methods.
Statistical analyses used SPSS 27.0 and WHONET 5.6.
Of 784 pathogenic isolates, 53.32% were gram-negative bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent at 52.05%.
Multidrug-resistant strains constituted 16.8%, with MRSA accounting for 66.67% of these.
Resistance to ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and levofloxacin increased significantly (P < 0.05) over time.
