“…Mordi and Momoh (2009) mentioned that wounds P. mirabilis accounts 17.5% [27]. In the same trend Mohamed et al (2013) revealed that rate isolate of wounds P. mirabilis was 14.5% [28]. The results in Table 2 showed that animal P. mirabilis isolates accounts (37) (27) 38.6% [16].…”

“…5 On bacteriological analysis of superficial pus culture it was found that Staphylococcus aureus 21 (42%) was the predominant species isolated followed by pseudomonas in 14 (28%) of patients. This finding is in agreement with the works of Mohammed et al, Raza MS et al and Mama et al [6][7][8] Staphylococcus was the most common isolate in superficial pus culture. The high prevalence of S. aureus infection may be because it is an endogenous source of infection.…”

“…Gram negative organisms (67.8%) were the predominant as compared to gram positive organisms (32.2%) in the wound specimens in our study. This finding correlates with kranthi K et al, (5) Roel T et al (14) and Mohammed et al (12) but study of Gautam et al, (11) showed gram positive organisms as the predominant bacterial isolates recovered. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant organism in gram positive bacteria and Escherichia coli was the predominant in gram negative bacteria which correlates with the other studies, (5,12,13,14) Pseudomonas species was predominant among gram negative bacteria in Gautam et al (11) and Mehta M et al (15) studies.…”

“…This correlates to Kranthi K et al, (5) where 66% were males and 34% were females. On the contrary, studies by Gautam et al, (11) Mohammed et al, (12) and Bessa LJ et al, (13) showed female preponderance. Majority of the specimens were received from the patients in the age group of 51-60 years followed by 41-50 years probably because of the co-morbid conditions like diabetes or other immunosuppressive conditions whereas Gautam et al, (11) study of 200 samples shows higher incidence in the age group of 21-30 years.…”
