Bacterial Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Isolates Among Burn Patients at Yekatit 12 Hospital Burn Center, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
BACKGROUND Infection is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in burn patients. Clinical diagnosis of bacteremia and/or sepsis in burn patients is difficult for a number of reasons. It could be symptomatic and/or asymptomatic as a result of immune deficiency secondary to thermal injury. METHODS A cross sectional study was conducted at Yekatit 12 Hospital Burn Center. Blood specimen and wo...
متن کاملThree-year Review of Bacteriological Profile and Antibiogram of Burn Wound Isolates in Van, Turkey
The risk of infection in burns is well-known. In recent decades, the antimicrobial resistance of bacteria isolated from burn patients has increased. For this reason, a retrospective study was conducted at Van Training and Research Hospital to analyze the bacterial isolates from the wounds of patients admitted to the Burn Unit and to determine the susceptibility patterns of the commonly cultured...
متن کاملBacteriological and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile of Aerobic Burn Wound Isolates at a Tertiary Care Institute in Northern India
Burn injury which itself is a life-threatening event is associated with high mortality and morbidity due to associated burn wound infection (BWI). Thermal destruction of the skin barrier and concomitant depression of local and systemic host cellular and humoral immune responses are pivotal factors contributing to infectious complications in patients with severe burns. In burns involving more th...
متن کاملBacteriological Profile 0f Burn Wound Infections with Reference to Biofilm Formation
Burns are one of the most common devastating forms of trauma. Burn patients are ideal hosts for opportunistic infections [1]. Thermal injury causes instant coagulative necrosis, which rapidly becomes a favourable niche for bacterial colonisation and proliferation. The eschar provides a devitalised, protein rich environment, which further benefits bacterial proliferation through its exclusion fr...
متن کاملBurn Wound Infections and Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan
BACKGROND Burn wound infections carry considerable mortality and morbidity amongst burn injury victims who have been successfully rescued through the initial resuscitation. This study assessed the prevalent microrganisms causing burn wound infections among hospitalized patients their susceptibility pattern to commonly used antibiotics and the frequency of infections with respect to the duratio...
