Fulltext PDFIntroduction: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the second most prevalent category of healthcare-associated infections, and they continue to be one of the most frequent postoperative complications and causes of readmission following surgery. Multi-drug resistant organisms associated with surgical site infections are capable of ending up in significant post-surgical morbidity and mortality.
Case report: 73 year old female diagnosed with multi-drug resistant organism associated surgical site infection following wound debridement in emergency department. She was treated with fluroquinalones and there were no signs of infection both clinically and microbiologically after the completion of treatment on further follow up.
Conclusion: Strict infection control protocols, practicing proper hand hygiene, and giving patients the best possible operative care, the incidence of SSIs can be reduced. Providing the best possible supportive care requires careful planning involving surgical teams, microbiologists, and infection control teams.
