Abstract
:A total of 100 swab samples were obtained from patients suffering from wound
infection. The isolates were identified using different microscopical cultural characteristics and
biochemical tests. Final identification of gram negative bacteria were performed by using API 20 E
system. The most common bacteria isolates was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37.64 %) followed by
Staphylococcus aureus (23.52%). Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. (14.11%) each of them.
Followed by Proteus mirabilis (8.23%), finally Enterococcus faecalis and Serratia marcesence
(1.17%) each of them.Sensitivity of the isolates to antibiotic leveled high resistance to Amoxicillin,
cefotaxime, ceftazidime, Gentamicin and Tobramycin. To less extent was the resistance to
Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin, Cefepime, imipenem, norfloxacin, P-ofloxacin and Azitromycin.
Combination of EDTA and ceftazidime gave interesting results against the local bacterial isolates.It
was concluded from this study the possibility of using a combination of Ceftazidime with EDTA to
treat infected wounds with high success rate
