Analysis of Antibiotic Susceptibilities of Skin Wound Flora in Hospitalized Dermatology Patients

Inpatient dermatology: profile of patients and characteristics of admissions to a tertiary dermatology inpatient unit in São Paulo, Brazil

“…Like other studies, we found the proportion of HAIs caused by S. aureus in patients with dermatologic diseases to be high. Patients who were transferred to the ICU and/or died showed a considerably higher rate of HAI in comparison with that observed across the entire admissions cohort.…”

In vitro inhibitory potentials of crude plant extracts on multidrug resistant bacterial species from infected human wounds

“…mirabilis and Ps. aeruginosa, were similar to those commonly isolated from human wound swabs and burn sepsis, [5][6][7][20][21][22] suggesting that these particular bacterial species are among the most prominent species associated with wounds, irrespective of geographical locations. Meanwhile, nature of microbial wound colonisation and flora are constantly changing, [23] and it is thus, quite necessary to identify the particular indigenous aetiological bacterial flora of wounds in order to administer a rational and effective antibiotic treatment.…”

Microbial Species Isolated from Infected Wounds and Antimicrobial Resistance Analysis: Data Emerging from a Three-Years Retrospective Study

“…The results obtained showed a high resistance rates, of the species isolated, to ampicillin (56.1%), gentamicin (32.2%), penicillin (27.6%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (25.9%), and piperacillin (24.3%) [36,41,44]. Unlike most of the studies in literature, ciprofloxacin was not detected among the most resistant antibiotics [36,41,[45][46][47][48]. Amikacin worked well against all Gram-negative species except A. baumannii and imipenem was effective against all Gram-negative species except P. aeruginosa.…”
