Dr. Ch. Aruna Kumari, Dr. K. R. L Surya Kirani

Abstract :

 Surgical site infection is the most common complication seen in lower segment caesarian section patients. It increases maternal morbidity, hospital stay and medical cost. Post operative wound infections were identified by discharge of pus, blood from the incision site leading to complications like wound cellulitis and wound abscess. ?e study was undertaken in Obstetrics & Gynaecology department in GGH, Kakinada, to identify predominant organisms causing wound infection and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates.43 bacteria isolated from 50 samples.P.aeruginosa 23 (46%) was the most predominant isolate causing wound infection followed by S.aureus 15 (30%), K.pneumoniae 5 (10%), Gram negative isolates were found to be more susceptible to Imepenem (100%) followed by Piperacillin and Tazobactum (91.30%).Gram positive cocci were found to be more susceptible to Vancomycin (86.6%) followed by Linezolid & Aminoglycosides (80%).
