<p>Bacterial pathogens were recovered in 79.2% (n=175) of wound specimens. Klebsiella species was the most abundant Enterobacteriaceae pathogen isolated (47.3%) followed by Escherichia coli (32.4 %) and Proteus mirabilis (20.3%). There were significant differences in isolation of pathogens with respect to age, wound type, and co-existing morbidity (P&lt;0.05). Most isolates were sensitive to Levofloxacin (70%), Ocefix (60%) and Colistin (50%) and resistant to Ampiclox (95%), Cefixime (85%), and Imipenem (80%). Resistance genes detected: qnrB (84.2%), KPC (57.9%), aacIb (52.6%), OXA-48 (36.8%), qnrC (10.5%), mcr-2 (10.5%), qepA (5.3%), and mcr-1 (5.3%).</p>
