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

Abstract

Three different types of medicated soap were tested for their ability to kill staphylococcus aureus, which had been isolated from wound infections. 50 people with wound infections ranging in age from 9 to 73 were sampled. Swabsticks were employed to gather samples from an infected wound. Each swabstick was streaked individually over nutrition and macconkey agar plates before being incubated at 370 degrees. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen among the fifty (50) individuals collected, followed by pseudomonas acruginqu (22%) and staphylococcus epidermis (10%), and Escherichia coli b (12%). Ages 9 to 13 are the most common for the organisms, with 8 (16%), followed by 14 to 18 years. 4 (8%), followed by the age group of 19 to 23 years There was no isolation in the age group 59-63, followed by 3(6%), 24-28 years with 2(4%), 24-28 years with 2(4%), and the heart in the age range of 29-33, 34-38, 39-43, 44-48, 49-53, 54-58, 64-68 with 1(2%) each. Additionally, the study found that each and every staphylococcus aureus isolate was susceptible to the three medicated soaps. Aleppo medicated soap had the highest means of inhibition (12.92 mm), followed by temperate medicated soap (11.2 mm), and carat medicated soap (10.56 mm).The commercial antibiotics employed as couplers were also effective against the isolated staphylococcus aureus, with the mean zones of inhibition being greatest in ampiclox (12.8 mm), followed by gentamycin (12.04 mm), and the heart in penicillin (10.4 mm). The three medicated soaps and the commercial antibiotics used as coconutrels have a close association in the zones of inhibition. The findings demonstrated that medicated soaps are comparable to commercial antibiotics in their ability to combat the staphylococcus aureus that causes human infections. As a result, when someone has cut or damaged their skin, medicated soap can be used to clean it, especially in the affected area.
