Abstract
The rate of infection is high and heterogeneous in developing countries. This study aimed to find the rate and pattern of infection in a tertiary care hospital with a goal to improve the infection control ractices.73 swabs/ pus specimens from various compound fracture sites suspected to be infected were collected and processed, by standard methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of all the isolates was done. 64% of patients developed infection at the fracture site. Klebsiella species was the commonest organism isolated 30% followed by others. Unlike previous studies, Klebsiella constituted majority of the cases instead of Staphylococcus. There is an urgent need to adopt basic principles of asepsis and sterilisation and to make judicious use antibiotics
