In order to see the trends of predominant pathogenic organisms of clinical specimens, especially pus and wound, 2,063 strains of pathogen isolated from 3,704 of pus and wound specimens requested at Chung-Ang University Hospital from january in
1986
to
december in 1990 were analyzed.
The results were as follows:
1. Total 34 species, 2,063 strains, were isolated from pus and wound and predominantly isolated pathogens were S. aureus (15.9%), coli(14.2%), Pseudomonas species(13.6%), and CNS (13.2%) in order.
2. The major departments which requested pus and wound were general surgery in 1,553 or thopedic surgery in 892, ENT in 449, neurogsurgery in 128 and urology in 121 in order.
3. In susceptibility test, S aureus was susceptible to chloramphenicol and cefotaxime, and CNS was susceptible to cephalothin and cefoperazone.
4. Of gram negative rods, the most frequently isolated pathogen was E. coli.E. coli was susceptible to cefotaxime, amikacin and gentamicin. Pseudomonas species were susceptible to chloramphenicol and cefoperazone but were rather low susceptible
to
other antibiotics. En terobacter species were susceptible to amikacin. Kebsiella species were susceptible to most antibiotics to ampicillin.
