What is the common bacteria in the wounds?

Answer 1

This depends on the location of the wound.

The most common bacteria contaminating skin wounds are Staphylococcus aureas and Streptococcus pyogenes, although if they are near the anus, gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli are much more common. Anaerobes are also common in wounds near the anus.

Classically, wounds in the feet are contaminated with anaerobes, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa if it is a wound through the sole of a shoe. Dirty lacerations, or lacerations with large areas of tissue destruction are at high risk for Clostridium tetaniproliferation, hence the reason you get your tetanus booster when you get cut. Animal bites, such as cats and dogs, are at high risk of Pasteurella multocida infection, which can cause a rapidly progressive cellulitis, while human bites can cause some very nasty infections with the classic organism being Eikenella corrodens.

Again, I can't reinforce how important the location of the wound and the situation in which the wound was inflicted are in proper treatment. Most cases require only irrigation and possibly a topical antiseptic or antibiotic. Some high risk cases, however, demand empiric antibiotics to prevent infection.

Answer 2

Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterium found in wounds, which can lead to infections if not properly treated. It is important to keep wounds clean and seek medical attention if there are signs of infection.

Answer 3

Staphylococcus Aureus.
