“…Thus, a continuous surveillance of microorganisms and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns is essential to maintain good infection control programmes in the burn unit, thus improving the overall infection related morbidity and mortality. In studies conducted by Ahsan et al, 32 and Bhama et al, 33 Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 100% sensitive to Imipenem which is similar to present study. However studies like Dash et al, 18 , Saxena et al, 5 and Behesti et al, 34 low rate of sensitivity was found which were 90.8%, 95.77% and 38.9% respectively.…”

“…In a study by Bhama et al it was found that the incidence of burn injuries was maximum in female (85.16%) and majority of patients belong to age group of 21-30 years (24.14%). 6,7 Similar results were seen by Chakraborty et al 7 who reported that 56.6% of the cases were of 20-39 years age. Likewise, Jaiswal et al stated that most of the cases were between 21-30 years of age.…”

Background: As per WHO around 1,95,000 people died every year due to burn injuries. After initial 72 hours, Infections are the most common cause of death in patients with burn injuries and urinary tract infection was second most commonly reported infectious complication. This study was tried to determine the pattern of microorganisms responsible for urinary tract infection.Methods: After matching inclusion and exclusion criteria, total 55 patients were taken for this institution based prospective observational study. Samples were collected on day 7 and cultured aerobically in MacConkey agar and 5% blood agar and antibiotic susceptibility testing was done on Muller Hinton agar using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.Results: 29.1% samples were positive for microorganisms, of which Escherichia coli was most common isolated organism, it is found in 18.2 % of study population. nitrofurantoin was found to be most effective antibiotic against Escherichia coli.Conclusions: Gram-negative cocci were most prevalent organisms, causing urinary tract infection in patients with burn injuries. Escherichia coli was most common isolated organism and nitrofurantoin was most effective against it. Overall piperacillin/tazobactam has height sensitivity.

“…These organisms then persist in the resident flora of the burn treatment facility for a variable period of time, only to be replaced by newly arriving microorganisms. Introduction of new topical agents and systemic antibiotics influence the flora of the wound (Bhama et al, 2013).…”

Background: Infection is an important cause of mortality in burns. Rapidly emerging nosocomial pathogens and the problem of multi-drug resistance necessitates periodic review of isolation patterns and antibiogram in the burn ward. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the frequency of bacteria in burn wound with their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Method: This cross sectional study was conducted in the laboratory of Department of Microbiology at Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka and samples were collected from the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. Bacterial isolates from 108 wound swabs taken from burn patients were identified by conventional biochemical methods and antimicrobial susceptibility was performed. Result: Out of 98 bacteria E. coli (20.4%) was most common and 25.0% of these bacteria were ESBL producer. Out of 14 Klebsiella species ESBL producer was in 6(42.9%). ESBL producing Proteus species (21.4%) and Pseudomonas species (14.9%) were also detected. Klebsiella (33.91%) was the predominant organism closely followed by Pseudomonas (31.84%). Conclusion: E. coli is the most common ESBL producing bacteria causing the burn wound infection. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jsf.v10i2.17959 J Sci Found, 2012;10(2):63-69
