Abstract
Objectiye: To investigate post surgical wound Infections for anaer.obes and to develop effective method
for their rapid identification. ·
Method: Fifty seven (57) samples were collected In cooked meat broth, they consisted of 40 wound
swabs, 7 pus, 6 vaginal and 4 rectal swabs. They were Inoculated Into two compounded media;
Neomycin Blood Agar (NBA) and Neomycin Plasma Agar (NPA) Incubated anaerobically at 37°C for
(24-48) hours. Isolated anaerobes were gram-stained and tested using discs Impregnated with
antibiotics, bile salts and dyes, carbohydrate fermentation and other standard tests were carried out.
Results: Abdominal surgery had the highest anaerobes (44%), Musculoskeletal (25%), Splenectomy
and related procedures "(5%). Severe outcomes associated with anaerobes were amputation of limbs
and death. Anaerobes were classified Into frag/1/s group, blle resistant, bile sensitive and Fusobacter/um
group. Further tests revealed Bacteroides fragllls, Fusobacter/um nucleatfum, Porphyromonas
assacharofytica, Prevotef/a intermedia, and Peptosterptococcus magnus as most frequently Isolated,
The developed scheme Interlinked the various Identification steps: 1'1 level; Inoculation and growth,
2"" level; Gram .differentiation and 3"' level; Biochemical characterization.
Conclusion: The study has shown anaerobic cultures as essential In the management of patients with
post surgical would Infections. The scheme serves as a guide of Idealized representation to
identification of anaerobes.
