Abstract:
Wound secretion from 20 patients with gaseous gangrene was collected for Gram staining,bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests.The results indicated that gaseous gangrene was caused by the co-infection of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.Gram-negative bacilli were slishtly more common than other aerobic bacteria in gageous gangrene wound,which was different from the findings of ordinary gaseous gangrene.
