182 bacterial isolates were obtained from 176 pus samples, collected from operative wound infections. Staphylococcus aureus (n=58) was the most frequently isolated followed by Escherichia coli (n=41), pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=24), Acinetobacter (n=18), Klebsiella pneumonia (n=20), and others. Majority of the isolates were resistant to Ampicillin, Ampicllin-Clavulanic acid, Cephelexin, Cefuroxime, Cefotxime, Fluoroquinolones and Cotrimoxazole. Alarming antimicrobial resistance made it imperative that measures for control be taken with special emphasis on formulation and implementation of antibiotic policy.
