Out of 195 (100 %) bacterial isolated, 103 (52.8 %) were isolated in pure culture while 92 (47.2%) were mixed culture .The most dominant bacteria were Klebsiella SPP 36 (18.5%) followed by Pseudomous aeuginosa 19 (9.7%),Staphylococcus aureus 15(7.7%), Candida albicans 11(5.6%), Escherichia coli 8(4.1%), Proteus mirabilis 6(3.1%), Staphylococcus epidermidis 4(2.1%) ,Enterococcus faecalis 2(1%) and Streptococcus pyogens 2(1%) | ||
