Bacteriological study in burn wound infection

الملخص EN

This work aims to study the infectious etiological agents of common bacterial pathogens associated with burn wound infections.

In this study, 56 samples were collected from patients with burn wound infections in Hilla Surgical Teaching Hospital.

Atotal of 47 samples showed bacterial growth, identified as following : Pseudomonas aeurginosa [(31 isolates),staphylococcus aureus (6 isolates), Klebsilla spp.

(4 isolates), E.coli (4 isolates), and Proteus spp.( 2 isolates) where as the reminder (9) samples showed no bacterial growth .

The effect of some antibiotics on these bacterial isolates was studied, and the results showed that Amikacin was the most effective antibiotic among them.

The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to invade tissues depends production of extracellular enzymes (proteases (.
