Background: Infection is the commonest and the most serious problem in patients who survive the initial shock phase of major thermal injury. It is an important cause of mortality in burns. Rapidly emerging nosocomial pathogens and the problem of multi-drug resistance in burn patients providing a important periodic review of isolation patterns and Antibiograms in the burn ward. Aim and Objective: The present retrospective study from wounds of patients admitted to burns unit was undertaken to determine the bacteriological profile and the resistance pattern from the burn ward over a period of one year and four months (January 2012 to April 2013). Materials and Methods: 450 wound swabs were taken from burn patients and were cultured on Blood-agar and MacConkey-agar .Out of 450 samples only 400 showed growth and so its isolates were identified by conventional biochemical methods and antimicrobial susceptibility was performed. Isolates were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobials using the Kirby Bauer Disc diffusion method. Result: During the period from January2012 to April 2013 study is done.450 aerobic bacterial isolates were recovered from 400 patients. Pseudomonasaeruginosa was the commonest pathogen isolated (35.55%) followed by Klebsiellaspecies (23.34%),Acinetobacter species (22.22%), Staph. aureus (9.11%), (5.56%), Proteus species (1.78%), Citrobacter species (1.33%) and E.coli (1.11%). Ampicillin, Piperacillin was most resistant drugs in case of Gram-negative bacteria.Piperacillin-tazobactum was (100%) sensitive antibiotic in all Gram negative bacteria. Amoxicillin and Penicillin G were the resistant antibiotics in case of Gram –positive bacteria. Conclusion: The growth of multidrug-resistant organisms should be considered as a serious risk in burn units. Aggressive infection control measures should be applied to limit the emergence and spread of multidrugresistant pathogens.
