Abstract
Infection is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in burnt patients due to the integrity disorder of the skin. Many of the microorganisms are potential causes of burn wound and general skin injury infections. Beside members of the normal flora, gram positive and/or negative bacteria and fungal agents may be involved in these infections. Resistant nosocomial infections by burn wound patients are very common. Infection rate due to gram negative bacteria is proportional to the duration of hospitalization. The burn wound area should be isolated in order to prevent contamination and control infections.OBJECTIVE: In this study, it was aimed to determine microorganisms and their antibiotic resistance or susceptibility, which were isolated from burn wounds and wounds.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was completed in the Clinical Microbiology Department between February 2012 and February 2013. Sample size of 100 cases (90 general injuries, 10 burn injuries) with colonization were studied. Sensitivity towards antibiotics was evaluated by using the disk diffusion method and/or The BD Phoenix™ automated identification and susceptibility testing system.RESULTS: In the case of 100 burn wounds and wounds, 24 different species of bacteria were isolated and Candida was isolated in 2 cases. The most common microorganism isolated was Acinetobacter baumannii (17%). Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (15%) was isolated second commonly where Escherichia coli (12 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (12 %) shared the 3rd place.CONCLUSIONS: Acinetobacter baumannii was the most common isolated
Özet
Yanık hastalarında enfeksiyonlar, cilt bariyerinin bozulmasına bağlı olarak önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Enfeksiyon etkeni olarak; normal florayı oluşturan mikroorganizmaların dışında aerop ve anaerop bakteriler ve mantarlar sorumludur. Yanık hastalarında dirençli hastane enfeksiyonlarına sık karşılaşılmakta, hasta yatış süresi uzadıkça gram negatif bakterilerle enfeksiyon riski artmaktadır. Yanıklı hastalarda enfeksiyonların kontrolü için öncelikle yanık alanının kontaminasyonu engellenmeli ve tam izolasyon sağlanmalıdır.
