الملخص EN

In this study, wound swabs and blood samples were collected from (100) patients suffering from burn wound infections with the age range between (1.5-45) years old from both sexes.

The period of collection were extended from November 2011 through March 2012.

All samples were subjected to identify the bacterial cultivation, and different types of bacteria were isolated which caused burn wounds infections.

The predominant bacteria was P.aeruginosa for gram negative, and for gram positive was S.aureus.

Biofilm formation were studied for all bacterial isolates and the results shown that The most bacteria that form biofilm were A.baumannii and Enterobacter spp.

(80 %) whereas lawest one was K.

pneumoniae (20 %).
