I believe that the word exacerbated is acceptable here, although "aggravated" or "irritated" might be better in this case.
Also, I'd remove the word "the" before bacteria, because traditionally bacteria is not preceded by "the".
My ideal way of phrasing this sentence: "His father's wound was aggraved by bacteria after the day's work."
