OBJECTIVES: to identify the main causative agents of infection associated with care and their susceptibility to antibiotics used and to identify risk factors for care-associated infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study with prospective data collection, conducted from 1 November 2016 to 1 April 2017 among all children admitted to the pediatric surgery department. Non-consenting parents and cases of necrosectomy were included in this study. RESULTS: was noted in urinary tract infection. Antibiotics tested were amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone, imipenem, gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. The mode of recruitment and the duration of hospitalization were the risk factors noted. CONCLUSION: The infection associated with care is a frequent occurrence in our practice. These infections mainly occur at the operating sites. The germs found were: Acinetobacter, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. They are all sensitive to imipenem and resistant to amoxicillin. The infection remains formidable in health care. It is essential to give special attention to the prevention of infectious risk, especially in the surgical setting.
