Detailed Description
The available number of patients presenting in outpatient clinic or at operating theatre with surgical site infection after orthopedic surgery that include insertion of implant (e.g plates , screws ,wires ,…) will be subjected to full history and examined by physician. Swabs from site of infection will be taken and subjected to the following steps to identify the causative bacteria:
-
Culturing on blood agar, chocolate agar, MacConkey agar and Mannitol salt agar , gram staining and biochemical tests.
-
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect biofilm formation.
-
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.
