Abstract
During this study period, we recorded 10187 deliveries, including 2763 caesarean sections. Surgical site infections were found in 102 caesarean sections, i.e. 3.69%. We found that age over 35 years, history of diabetes, asthma, sickle cell anemia, obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and history of caesarean section were risk factors for the occurrence of an infection at the surgical site. The bacteriological profile was dominated by Staphylococcus Aureus (21%) followed by Klebsiella Pneumoniae (20%) and Escherichia Coli (16%). Superficial infection was the most common at 65%. Most of the germs were sensitive to imipenems; to the ertapenems; amikacin; gentamycin; colistin and ciprofloxacin. Klebsiella was the germ most resistant to common antibiotics.
