1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
Wound sepsis has really posed a serious threat to both surgical and un-surgical wounds. There has been prevalence in wound sepsis following iyunes and fome disease state, and may have failed to heal after administration of common antibiotics resulting to foul smelling and petrifying wounds owing to their discriminate use of drugs especially in togena.
This problems really propelled met know whether it is because efln discriminate use of dmgs that contributed to sensitive organisms to become resisted string to the drugs or could it be because of mosconical injection which comes bystaying very long in the hospital. And why staphylococcus has been the prechominant organisms threatening wounds.
1.4 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY: standard clean sanitary condition is employed to avoid mosconial infection
1.5 HYPOTHESIS
HO Staphocollus aureus is predominantly associated with wound sepsis
H1 Staplococcus aureus is not predominantly associated with wound sepsis
HII: There is correlation between age, sex and different types of wound sepsis.
1.5 SCOPE OF STUDY
The scope of the study is to isolate and identify bacteria associated with
wound seosis, noting their distribution pattern, age and sex relationship,
predisposing factor and any other factor affecting it and also their antibiotic
sensitivity especially in Nigeria where drugs are taken indiscriminately
without prescription.
1.7 LIMITATIONS
This project work has been limited on only surgical, sickle cell, ulcer,
Diabetic ulcer and gun short wound sepsis. Collection of samples and
materials used is limited to National orthopedic hospital Enugu Metropolis.
This project is also limited to open wounds and to patients t hat lactnot
stayed for a long time, in the clinic to eliminate nosconial infection and
sense had not used a lot of antibiotic which would have killed the
opportunistic bacteria.
