Bacterial infection and antibiotic resistance pattern in open fracture cases in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The annual incidence of open fracture in Dr Soetomo Hospital, East Java were 400 cases with chronic infection complications exist in 14% (57 cases). A previous study in this hospital shows the resistance rate of Pseudomonas towards cefazolin and amikacin was 100% and 15%, respectively. The objective of this study was to identify bacterial infection type and antibiotic resistance pattern in infection caused by the open fracture.

Methods

This was an analytic cross-sectional study. Samples were collected from three debridement surgery sites in Mataram Hospital, Mataram University Hospital, and Islamic Mataram Hospital from September 2019 until October 2020.
