Article Synopsis
- Surgical site infections are a significant issue in healthcare, leading to high costs and complications; this study focuses on understanding the factors contributing to these infections, particularly the role of enzymes from multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria.
- Researchers collected 153 pus specimens from patients with severe infections, identifying bacterial growth through culture methods and analyzing enzyme production levels, revealing a notable presence of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
- The findings showed that many isolated bacteria were MDR and exhibited substantial lipase and protease activity, suggesting these enzymes may play a critical role in the development of post-surgical infections.
Escherichia coli is the most studied among those bacteria causing urinary tract infections. This study was aimed to find out antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration of selected antibacterial agents against E. coli isolates of hospitalized UTI patients.
