Abstract
A surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body
where the surgery took place. Surgical site infections can sometimes be superficial infections
involving the skin only. The commonest of these include bacteria Staphylococcus, Streptococcus,
and Pseudomonas, and fungal infections can range from mild to life-threatening.
Parasites, Acanthamoeba enter a patient's body via skin cuts, contact-lens solution or inhalation,
and Toxoplasma gondii, leishmaniasis, hydatidosis dissemination into other organs.
