摘要：Infection is still considered a serious threat to patients hospitalized in the burned unit. These patients are more susceptible to infection than healthy people for different reasons. For example, systemic immunosuppression, invasive medical procedures and prolonged hospital stay have been reported to influence the risk of infection.1 As a result of indiscriminate use of antibiotics, bacterial pathogens have shifted away from easily treatable bacteria towards the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria that are important problems for hospitalized patients.2Determining the diversity in bacteria isolated from wound infection and the local antibiotic susceptibility patterns can guide the appropriate use of antibiotics in each hospital. The purpose of the current study was to ascertain the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the most common aerobic bacterial isolates from burn wound infection in a referral hospital of Isfahan, Iran, over a one-year period.
