| dc.description.abstract | Background:
Skin and soft tissue infection ( SSTI ) which is caused by infection with pathogenic
bacteria by entering through the skin that has been traumatized to cause pus, Pus is a fluid full of
bacteria and protein from the inflammatory process . The existence of antibiotics is very useful for
getting rid of these bacteria so the use of antibiotics appropriately is a way to suppress bacterial
infections however, if the use of antibiotics is not appropriate it can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Purpose: This study aims to determine the description of b acteria in pus specimens at H aji Adam
Malik General Hospital in 2020 Methods: This research was a descriptive observational study with
a retrospective approach and used secondary data from the Clinical Microbiology Sub Installation
of the RSUP. Haji Adam Malik Results : In this study, positive culture on pus specimens were more
male (60.6%), the most age group was 19 59 years (65.8%) with the most frequent occupation being
self employed (22, 5%), housewives (18.2), farmers and students (13.5%). The most co mmon
bacteria found in IKJL pus specimens were Escherichia coli (38.8%), Klebsiella pneumoniae
(14.3%), Pseudomonas aeroginosa (9.7%) and Acinetobacter baumanii (8.9%). Escherichia coli
(76.2%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (78.3%) were found as ESBL producing bacteria, while the
most common gram positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (8.6%). Conclusion : Most of the
gram negative bacteria in this study were still sensitive to the antibiotics Amikacin, Ertapenem, and
Meropenem, but were resistant to the an tibiotics Ampicillin, Cefazolin, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin.
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in this study are sensitive to Doxycycline and Clindamycin
antibiotics, but are resistant to Azlocillin and Carbenicillin antibiotics. | en_US |
