Impact of Wound Infected Patients based on Demographic and Comorbidities
Abstract: In modern human history, infectious disease has posed a threat to public health several times. Antimicrobial resistance intimidates the effective prevention and treatment of an expanding range of infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms. In particular, some people are at higher risk of developing serious infection. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder for treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and even death. As an effect, the medicines become ineffective and contagions persist in the body, increasing the risk of spread to others. Certain risk factors including age, gender and comorbidities developed during lifetime can put them at increased risk of severe effects from infections. Objective: To study about the various risk factors affecting the severity of bacterial infection in Chennai population. Method: The samples were cultured and categorized using structural and diagnostic biochemical tests. The analysis of the frequency of the isolates and their age, gender and comorbidities were calculated using SPSS (version 21) at a significant level of P - value
