Microbiological Profiles of the Anatomical Sites of Perforation Peritonitis: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction One of the most frequent emergencies that a general surgeon deals with is perforation peritonitis. The anatomical site of the perforation, which in turn affects the source of infection, has a major impact on the mortality rate due to perforation peritonitis. Early and suitable antibiotic therapy can be started in the postoperative period with the aid of knowledge about the microbiological profile and sensitivity of peritoneal fluid culture with respect to the anatomical sites of perforation peritonitis.
