War impact on antimicrobial resistance and bacteriological profile of wound infections in Ukraine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infections and antimicrobial resistance are among the main public health issues in the countries affected by war. This study evaluates war's impact on wound microbiome and antimicrobial resistance distribution among patients treated in Ukrainian civilian hospitals.

Methods

The patients with combat wounds were treated in the civilian hospitals located in the Northeast of Ukraine from January to April 2024. The wound samples were examined. The isolated microorganisms were identified with further investigation of antimicrobial resistance profiles.

Results

Here we show the data obtained from the examination of seventy-three wounded soldiers. Wound infections are associated with severe trauma and the middle age of patients. Bacteria were isolated in 56.16% sampl
