Abstract

Objective: Wound site infection is one of the most common infections caused by hospital. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In our study, distribution rates and antibiotics susceptibility of microorganisms we isolated from infection site samples have been determined, and it has been aimed that they should be a guide to empirical treatment options and should help physicians' controlled and rational usage of antibiotics. Methods: Distribution rates of a total of 693 bacteria and fungi have been investigated, which were generated from wound patterns in 2010-2015. Results: 52.5% (364) of reproduced microorganisms consisted of Gram negative coccus, 42.8% (297) of Gram negative basil and 4.61% (32) of fungus. For Gram positive bacteria, the most common ones are staphylococcus with 88.1%, while 41.4% of them are observed to be Staphylococci aures. For Gram negative bacteria, Escherischia coli (30.6%) and Pseudomonas species (18.2%) are observed to be the most common. Yeast fungi constitutes the 4.6% of the reproduced microorganisms. Considering their resistance status, the resistance to methicillin was found to be 35.8 % in S. aureus, 71.1% in CoNS (coagulase-negative staphylococci), the highest and the lowest resistance ZET Ama:
