Abstract
Pressure ulcers are problems that can lead to pain, a longer stay in
the hospital or nursing care home.
The present work included collection, purification, identification
and sensitivity testing of 130 clinicalbacterial isolates from pressure
Ulcers in hospital patients during May 2001- and May 2002 in Khartoum
Teaching Hospitals.
The clinical isolates were purified by streaking on suitable
selective and differential culture media. They were identified on the basis
of the results of microscopical examination, Gram staining reaction,
cultural characters and biochemical tests.
The clinical bacterials isolates found were:
Proteus species41 (31.5%)
Staphylococcus aureus 32 (24.8%)
Psudomonas aeruginosa 22 (16.9%)
E. coli18 (13.8%)
Klebsiella species 7 (5.4%)
B-haemolytic streptococci 2 (1.5%)
The isolates were examined for susceptibility to ten widely used
antibiotics using the disk diffusion technique.
The results of this work indicatedthat there were very high levels
of multiple drug resistance observed in the clinical isolates of all the
pathogenic bacteria collected.
