Abstract
Background: Many types of infection can cause pus Infections involving the bacteria; E.coli, so the assessment of multidrug Bacterial profile and patterns is needed to understand the source and management of these injuries.
Purpose: To determine infections and patterns toward antibiotics of pus isolates and recurrent wound infections in nongovernmental hospitals of Jordan
Methods: During period eleven months, 607 Patients were involved, out of which 128 patients had pus samples and/or recurrent wound infections. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20. P value was set at <0.05.
Results: One hundred twenty eight (21.1%) out of 607 patients were identified to had pus isolates and/or wound recurrent infections 86(87%) out of 128 patients had infections with known pathogenic microbes. Microbiological culture pattern was total of 19 different pathogenic microorganisms were isolated from the participants, with mixed gram-positive and gram-negative species; percentage of 37% gram-positive aerobic bacteria and 63% gram-negative aerobic bacteria.
Conclusion: The global burden from multidrug resistant bacteria highly impacted in wound and pus-causing infections, either in hospital acquired infections or community acquired infections. The main causative agents of recurrent wound infection were Staph. aureus MRSA, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp (MDR). Gram-negative bacteria caused the most of infections by more than 67% comparing with gram-positive bacteria.
