![]() ![]() Multidrug-resistance test was performed by disk diffusion method against 10 classes of antimicrobials. Bacteriological culture and examination was done following standard microbiological techniques. Swabs from surgical incisions, burns, abscess and traumatic wounds were collected aseptically using Levine's technique. ![]() Methods: A Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted on 322 wound samples taken from consecutive patients seen at inpatient and outpatient department of Jimma University Specialized Hospital from June to December 2011. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine multidrug-resistance rate of bacterial isolates that caused wound infections. The effectiveness of currently available antmicrobial drugs is decreasing due to the increasing number of resistant strains causing infections so that available therapeutic options for such organisms are severely limited. ![]() Multidrug-resistant bacterial isolates in infected wounds at Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Ethiopiaīackground: The term 'Multidrug-resistant' (MDR) applies to a bacterium that is simultaneously resistant to a number of antimicrobials belonging to different chemical classes. ![]()
