AbstractSurgical wound infections remains one of the most important post operative complications accounting for 10 to 20% of the hospital cost. In most post operative SSI the causative pathogens originates from normal flora of patients skin, mucous membrane or hollow viscera. SSI can cause considerable mortality and morbidity. Wide spread use of antibiotics leads to major problem of MDR organisms contributing to longer stay in hospitals. Hence the present study was carried out to determine the incidence of surgical wound infection with antibiogram.
