Background  Microbial infection is the main cause of increased morbidity and mortality in burn patients, especially infections caused by multiple drug-resistant organisms (MDRO). The purpose of this study was to explore major microbial trends in burn patients .Methods  This retrospective study was conducted at burn wards and intensive care units, where burn patients were admitted following an event of dust explosion. Data were collected for a number of variables including severity of burns, demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory data, and therapeutic devices.    Results  A total of 1132 specimens were collected from 37 hospitalized burn patients with mean TBSA of 46.1%.The most commonly isolated species were  Staphylococcus spp.  (22.4%). The highest rate of antibiotic resistance was observed in carbapenem–resistant  A. baumannii  (14.6%), followed by methicillin-resistant  S. aureus  (11.3%). For each additional 10% TBSA, the isolation of MDRO increased 2.58–17.57 times ( p  < 0.05); for each additional 10% of the third-degree burn severity, the risk of MDRO significantly decreased by 47% (95% CI, 0.38–0.73,  p  < 0.001) by Cox model.    Conclusions  The proportion of overall microbial isolates increased with the increase in TBSA and duration of time after burns. The extent of TBSA was the most important factor affecting MDRO.
