Pathogenesis
• Skin flora into wound margins / deep sites
• risk factors eg haematoma, ischaemia, prostheses
• Bacterial virulence eg GNB + anerobes

Definitions
• Spectrum from wound margin erythema through local invasion, abscess, bacteraemia

Classifiaction and Rates
• Clean - no intrinsic bacterial flora <2 %• Clean / contaminated - involving
a viscus with bacterial flora 8%• Contaminated - involves spillage
of viscus content 15%• Dirty - involves inflamation or
viscus perforation 40%

Bacteriology
• UK Survey:
Staphylococci 40-45 %
GNB 40-45 %
other aerobes 6 %
anaerobes 5 %
• Specific surgery types have different rates:

Bacteriology
• Staphylococci and skin flora in bone and cardiac surgery
• GNB in biliary surgery
• Streptococci and anaerobes in gynae
• Colonic surgery:aerobic GNB 10 6-7 / G
Enterococci 10 5-6 / G
Bacteroides 10 9-11 /G
anaerobic cocci 10 10 / G

Prevention• Skin preparation:
skin cleaning, disinfection, opsite
• Bowel preparation:
No irrigation, diets, or non- absorbable antibiotics
• Theatre technique:
workflow zoning, air flow, CSSD, restricted staffing, aseptic technique etc.
• Wound managementDressing, no touch technique, closed drainage
