Abstract

To established the hospital acquired infection in aerobic bacterial isolates from burn wound infection and treatment with antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Methods- A retrospective study was conducted the burn unit at MBS Hospital and Kota medical college Kota, Rajasthan. One hundred burn patients have investigated a bacterial profile of burn wound infections. The specimenwas collected from the surface area of burn ward and wound swab of burn patients. The organisms were isolated and identified with the biochemical test. Further using antibiotic susceptibility pattern for a test of the bacterial isolates. Results- Lack of uniform antibiotic policy and indiscriminate use of antibiotics may have lead to emergence of resistant bacterial strain. In our study Amikacin, meropenom, gentamycin, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, linezolid, clindamycin shows good sensitivity against isolated bacterial species. Conclusion- this study concludes that in vitro testing previous to antibiotic use may help in the prevention and treatment of multi-drug resistant pathogens in burn infection. Isolation pattern and antibiogram of burn wound of this study provides adequate and effective treatment the will decrease the rate of morbidity and mortality and other systemic antibiotic policy will be used for burn patients.
