Abstract

Background: SSTIs are the most common cause of morbidity in community and hospital.1 the most common examples of SSTIs are cellulitis, abscesses, impetigo, folliculitis, furuncle, carbuncle, necrotizing fasciitis , diabetic foot infections and surgical site infections .

Methods: In this study we were included 207 cases of skin & soft tissue infection. Among all 134 cases have positive bacterial growth which we were considered. This study conducted in Department of skin with collaboration of Department of Microbiology.

Results: We seen 47.1% growth of Staphylococcus aureus followed by Enterococcus spp. While in gram negative bacteria we seen 24.6% growth of Klebseilla followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Escherichia coli.

Conclusions: Local antibiotic policy can be adopted which will prevent resistance among organisms and help in early recovery from infection.
