Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) remains one of the most common complications of perforation peritonitis, contributing not only to morbidity but also mortality. We studied the culture and sensitivity of intra-peritoneal fluid and post-operative laparotomy wounds, and found consistency in pathogen and sensitivity between the intra and post-operative samples in 25 cases (80.6%). Therefore, routine culture and sensitivity of peritoneal fluid and subsequently switching the empirical anti-microbial therapy accordingly is justified.
