Abstract

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of wound surface bacteria in patients with burns. Methods Bacteria isolated from wounds of patients with burns from 2012 January to December were retrospectively analyzed,and the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of detected strains were also analyzed. Results The top ten of detected bacteria were gram-negative bacteria of pseudomonas aeruginosa,acinetobacter baumannii,escherichia coli,klebsiella pneumoniae and enterobacter cloacae,and gram-positive bacteria of staphylococcus aureus,staphylococcus epidermidis,enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium,which accounted for 86. 63% of total detected bacteria,and the amount of gram-negative bacteria was obviously larger than that of gram-positive bacteria. The drug resistance rate of Methicillin resistant S. aureus( MRSA) to most of antibacterials exceeded 90% in all drugs except in vancomycin,linezolid and teicoplanin. Conclusion Bacterial Infections and drug resistance of wound surfaces are intensive in burns endemic area,so the disinfection and isolation measures should be strictly carried out,and the rational use of antibiotics should be strengthened.
