The most common cause of mortality in burn patients is infection. Various microorganisms can cause infections in burn patients since the skin barrier is destroyed. This study aimed at determining the distribution and antibacterial susceptibilities of microorganisms isolated from wound and blood cultures of burn patients in the Burn Unit, Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital. The most frequently encountered microorganisms among totally 108 isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (50/46.2%), Acinetobacter spp. (24/22.2%) and methicilline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (9/8%). With disk diffusion method high resistance of microorganisms to multiple antibiotics was detected. Procedures for contact isolation and therapy according to the results of antibiotic susceptibility testing would significantly control infection and drug resistance in burn units.
