dc.description.abstractAbstract Introduction: Treatment of thepatient with wound infected with multidrug resistantorganismis a major burden and challenge to the health care persons. This study was conducted to identify the clinical and epidemiological profile of such patients. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study conducted between November 2017 to June 2018 in Kathmandu University Hospital. Wound swabs, pus samples collected from patients during the study period were included. Specimen collection, culture, identification tests were done following standard guidelines and patient information was collected after informed consent. Results: Total number of patients observed for wound infection was 2,763. 1,550(56.10%) were postoperative wound and 1213(43.90%) were non-post-operative wound. Pathogenic bacteria were detected in 252(9.12%) samples. 167(66.27%) were multidrug resistant. Conclusion: Since, limited data is available in Nepal,determination ofclinical and epidemiological profile ofwound infection might become a useful tool to prepare guidelines for controlling and treating infected wound in healthcare centers and community. Keywords: Clinical epidemiology profile, bacterial pathogens, drug resistant, hospital
