| Abstract | ||
| Seventy nine isolates of superficial infections were obtained from Medical City and Al-Karch Emergency Hospital from March / 2002 to January / 2003 . Samples included burn swabs, wound swab, pus skin swabs, vaginal swabs and ear swabs. Gram-negative bacteria represented the highest ratio 82%. Pseudomonas compromised the highest percentage 57% , followed by Escherichia coli 26% . Most of the isolates were resistant to one or more antibiotics , some were resistant to eight , nine or ten antibiotics. Diacetyl affected most of the isolates using agar diffusion method when different concentrations were used (30, 60, 120, 180 μg / well ). Some isolates were very sensitive and could not grow at all, the use of diacetyl to treat superficial infections was suggested after proper formulation since the compound is volatile. | ||
