| Antibiotics | Antibiotic resistance (%) | χ2 | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Imipenem | 29.6 | 13.0 | 13.534 | 0.140 |
| Ceftriaxone | 74.1 | 43.5 | ||
| Ofloxacin | 77.8 | 73.9 | ||
| Ciprofloxacin | 77.8 | 56.5 | ||
| Gentamicin | 92.6 | 91.3 | ||
| Cefuroxime | 100 | 95.7 | ||
| Ceftazidime | 100 | 95.7 | ||
| Ampicillin | 100 | 100 | ||
| Nitrofurantoin | 85.2 | 82.6 | ||
| Amoxicillin/clavulanate | 100 | 100 | ||
There was no significant difference in antibiotic-resistance pattern between Gram-negative isolates from acute and chronic wound infections
