Abstract

Background: Wound infections constitute a global public health problem due to the emergence of MDR pathogens, which render treatment difficult. MDR pathogens include Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli that intercalate wound healing and offer minor prospects for treatment owing to drug resistance. Knowledge of the local epidemiology of these pathogens is therefore imperative especially in areas such as Peshawar, Pakistan where little is known about wound infection with MDR 
microorganisms.
