Description
Summary:Conclusion: Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were the dominant isolates from surgical sites after trauma orthopedic surgery. Among the Gram-positives, Staphylococcus aureus was dominant. Among the Enterobacterales isolates, ESBL production was detected in three cases (23.08%), with two Klebsiella spp. harboring CTXM and SHV resistance genes, and CTXM in one Proteus vulgaris. The current study has revealed varied resistant patterns of AMR, with CTXM and SHV as common ESβL genes among the isolates. The clinical identification of CTX-M and SHV genes could guide clinicians to consider alternative treatments to optimize therapeutic outcomes and limit the spread of resistant pathogens.
