Pathogenic bacteria and factors analysis of incision infection in urological patients at a hospital in Huai′an

Abstract

Abstract
This study analyzes the pathogenic bacteria involved in incision infections among urological patients at a hospital in Huai’an and explores related risk factors. Clinical samples from postoperative incision sites were collected for bacterial culture and identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted to determine resistance patterns. Patient clinical data were reviewed to assess potential factors influencing infection rates, including underlying conditions, surgical methods, and perioperative management. Results reveal a predominance of Gram-negative bacteria, with Escherichia coli being the most common pathogen. Significant antibiotic resistance was observed, complicating treatment options. Risk factors identified include prolonged surgery duration, diabetes, and inadequate postoperative care. The findings emphasize the importance of targeted antibiotic therapy and improved perioperative protocols to reduce incision infection rates in urological patients.
