Abstract | ||||
A total of 53 specimens were obtained from patients suffering from wound infections in surgery department at Benha university hospital in Qaliubiya province. The bacterial isolates identified as citrobacter freundii (41.02%), staph aureus (23.07%), pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.9%), coagulase negative staph (12.8%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (5.12%). The most effective antibiotics were ciprofloxacin, Amikacin and Gentamycin against all gram negative bacteria, in case of gram positive bacteria, the most effective antibiotics were Vancomycin against staph aureus and Clindamycin against coagulase negative staph. Beta lactam (Ampicillin, Amoxicillin clavulanate and cefoxitin) were the most resistant antibiotics against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. Essential oils have more antimicrobial effect against gram positive bacteria than gram negative bacteria. Combination between antibiotics and essential oils were more effective against different bacterial isolates than using both individually. All beta lactamase producing strains of Klebsiella pneumonia and co agulase negative staph (100%), (87.5%) of Citrobacter freundii, (80%) of pseudomonas aeruginosa and (85.7%) of staph aureus gave positive result by the iodometric method. | ||||
