Surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections that occur one month after a surgical operation or one year after implant surgery and a surgical procedure, either at the injury site or near the injury site. The second most common nosocomial infection that is reported in most of the tertiary care hospitals especially in developing countries like India. SSI’s are seen in all types of surgeries of a tertiary care sector which include obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology, orthopedics and also gastrointestinal surgeries. To assess the prevalence of SSIs, bacterial etiologies, associated factors, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolates among post-operated patient Materials and Methods: Name of the institute: Bhaarath medical college and hospital, chennai, India. Department of study: surgical gastroenterology, orthopedic surgery, gynec surgery and pediatric surgery departments of the study hospital. Duration of study: study was carried out for a period of 6 months in 2018-2019. Results and Discussion: About 321 patients were enrolled into the study from all the departments of RVS Multi-Specialty Hospitals, Chittoor. All the patients enrolled into the study were undergone with surgery based on individual patient’s clinical condition. Various trends of infection by microorganisms are analysed n laboratory settings in all the patients suspected to have an infection. Various trends of isolates observed were gram positive, gram negative, Candida species, and gram negative SSI. Conclusion: From this study it is concluded that nearly 10.9% of the overall patients are affected with nosocomial and this study, single and multiple drug resistance to the commonly used antibiotics was high. Therefore, intensifying the implementation of infection prevention and patient safety. Among various trends of infections, infection with gram negative bacteria were of high in incidence
