Background: Perforative peritonitis remains a major surgical emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Antibiotic resistance is an emerging challenge.

Methods: A prospective study on 100 patients with hollow viscus perforation was conducted. Peritoneal fluid was collected intraoperatively and subjected to aerobic culture and antibiotic sensitivity using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion.

Conclusion: Empirical antibiotic therapy should considerhigh resistance to older antibiotics. Culture guided therapy improves outcomes in perforative peritonitis.
