The antibacterial resistance pattern of 118 isolates from burn wounds in patients with thermal burns showing growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mixed with other aerobic bacteria over a period of two years (January 2009-December2010) were studied. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be mixed with Klebsiella pneumoniae 63 (53.38%) the most followed by Escherichia coli 27 (22.88%) and other aerobic isolates. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be highly resistant to Ceftazidime (72.88%) and least to Imipenem (9.32%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was found to be most resistant to Ampicillin (100%) and least to Amikacin (23.72%). Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed for the other isolates as well.
