THE STUDY OF EFFECTIVE BACTERIAL FACTORS IN FORMING THE POST BURN INFECTION IN BURN SECTION OF NEKUEI – HEDAYATI HOSPITAL OF QOM

Background and Aim:Burn wounds are suitable environments for the growth of various opportunistic infections. The knowledge of the common microorganisms in these infections and their antibiotic resistance are fundamental. We studied common microorganisms and their antibiotic resistance in burn ward of Nekuei Hospital, Qom, Iran.Methods:In this study, during 5 months, 70 patients admitted to the burn ward of Nekuei hospital were examined. After Sampling and isolation of bacteria, biochemical standard tests for determination of microorganisms were done. Determination of antibiotic resistance was done by using disc diffusion or Kirby Bauer using these antibiotics: co-trimoxazole, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, cephalothin, ceftazidime, amoxicillin, amikacin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, cefazolin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ampicillin, oxacillin, and imipenem.Results:Totally, the cultures of 54 cases (77.14%) of a total of 70 samples were positive. The most common isolated bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (38.9%), Staphylococcus aureus, and staphylococcus epidermidis (11.42%), and Enterococcus faecalis (9.59%). The results of the Antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are as follows: amoxicillin 94.73%, amikacin 25.64%, gentamicin 30.77%, co-trimoxazole 84.62%, ciprofloxacin 48.72%, ceftazidime 51.28%, cefotaxime 58.97%, Chloramphenicol 86.84%, ceftriaxone 55.26%, and imipenem 50%Conclusion:The most common bacteria in infection of burn wound was pseudomonas aeruginosa, which was mostly susceptible to amikacin and gentamicin.
