Baker et al (1985) explained that chemical agent function as a sterilizing agent by the following lethal mechanisms
1. Disruption of the cell membranes
2. Interfering with orgymatic systems of the organisms emzyme poison)
3. Co-aqulation of protein
4. Oxidation
1.1 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To isolate staphylococcus aureus from would infection
2. To determine the artibacterial activity of three medicated soap on staphylococcus aureus isolated from wound infection.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Since
Dorland (1981) stated that medicated soaps have germicidal substances
like chloroxylenol pothaium, mercuric widide trichlorocarberihide etc
incorporated into them in order to greatly their antibacterial activity.
It is therefore necessary to investigate the artibaterial activity of
three medicated soap (Asepos carat and temperate) on staphylococcus
aureus isolated from wound inflection.
1.3 HYPOTHESES
Medicated soap have antibacterial activity
Medicated soaps have no artibaterial activity.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
The
result of the project work will indicate the antibacterial activity of
medicated soap. And if favourable, then medicated soap can be used for
washing the surface of manor wound before the application of further
medication
1.5 LIMTATION OF THE STUDY
The study is limited to three types of medicated soaps which are:
a. Asepso medicated soap
b. Carat medicated soap
c. Tempovate medicated soap.ked resistance of discoloration upon
exposure to sunlight (Kaw,1981) another invention relates to an
autimicrobial composition consisting of ammoniated zinc sulphate
optionally formulated into sufficient formulation and toilet bars.
Medicated soap incorporate in their composition germicidal agent which
include hexachlorophene mercuric which trichoran, trichlorocarbaucide .

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The antibacterial activity of three type of medicate soap on staphylococcus aureus isolated from wound infections was conducted. Fifty individual with would infection within the age range of 9-73 years were sampled. Swabsticks were used to collect specimens from wound infection. each swabstick was streaked separately over plates of nutrient and macconkey agar and later incubated at 370c. out of the fifty (50) individuals sampled 25(50%) were mostly infected with staphylococcus aureus followed by ...
