Project Abstract

<p> The majority of dermal wounds are colonized by anaerobic microorganisms that originate predominately from mucosal surfaces such as those of oral cavity and gut. The analysis was carried out in the Microbiology Laboratory, Imo state University for the bacteriology study of wound. 10 Samples were collected from Federal Medical Center (FMC), Owerri, Imo State. From the wound samples, four genera of bacteria were isolated which are; <em>Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus. </em>The identified isolates were tested to ten 10 antibiotics, 100% &nbsp;where sensitive to ciprofloxacin, 50% to septrin, peflacin, Chloramaphenicol, and to septrin. A large variety of microorganism should resistance to different antibiotics tested. The antibiotic sensitivity of isolates revealed that a large number of multi resistant strains were prevalent in the hospital environment. <br></p>
