  The rising cases of multi-drug resistant bacteria have received considerable attention from patients and clinicians as a result of difficulties encountered during treatment. This has posed great challenges to pharmaceutical practitioners for continued search for effective antibiotics. The present study aimed at investigating antibiotic susceptibility profile of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from infected wound in two selected privately owned healthcare centers in Gboko town. A total of thirty (30) wound samples, fifteen (15) from each of the hospital were collected using swab sticks and analyzed and the isolates tested for MDR using disc diffusion method. The result showed that the wounds were infected with Escherichia coli (46.7%), Salmonella spp (40%) and Pseudomonas spp (13.3%). The three isolates displayed varying degrees of resistance to antibiotics. .. Read More»
