THE ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF THREE TYPES OF MEDICATED SOAPS ON Starhyrococcus Aureus ISOLATED FROM WOUND INFECTIONS

The antibacterial activity of three medicated soaps against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from wound infections was investigated. Samples were taken from her 50 with wound infections ranging from 9 to 73 years of age. Samples of wound infection were collected using cotton swabs. Each swab was separately streaked onto nutrient agar and MacConkey agar plates and later incubated at 370 °C. Of the 50 subjects tested, 25 (50%) were infected primarily with Staphylococcus aureus, followed by Pseudomonas aquaruginus (22%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (10%), and least Escherichia coli (10%). 12%) were infected. The organisms then occurred in the age range 9-13 years, 8 (16%), 14-18 years 4 (8%), 19-23 years 3 (6%), 24-28 years follows. 2 years (4%) followed by 24-28 years, 2 years (4%), age ranges hearts 29-33, 34-38, 39-43, 44-48, 49-53, 54-58 64 1 (2%) for every -68 59-63 year old group with no segregation. The study also found that all S. aureus isolates were sensitive to three medicated soaps. Mean inhibition was highest for Aleppo drug at 12.92 mm, followed by moderate drug soap at 11.2 mm, and lowest for Carat drug at 10.56 mm. The isolated S. aureus was also sensitive to commercial antibiotics used as couplers, with the highest median zone of inhibition for ampicox at 12.8 mm, gentamicin at 12.04 mm, and penicillin at 10.4 mm in the heart. did. There was a close relationship in the zone of inhibition between the three medicated soaps and the commercial antibiotic used as Coconutrel. It was shown to be effective and comparable to commercial antibiotics. Therefore, medicated soaps can be used to cleanse the skin. In particular, it can be used on affected areas of skin following injuries or skin cuts.
