“…Our finding that S. aureus was the most common isolate coincides with previous reports (Taylor et al 1992, Vindenes & Bjerknes 1995, Lesseva & Hadjiiski 1996, Komolafe et al 2003 but is in contrast to other studies which report P. aeruginosa as predominant organism (Atoyebi et al 1992, Revathi et al 1998, Singh et al 2003, Nasser et al 2003, Agnihotri et al 2004). …”

“…in the burn wards may be due to the fact that the organism thrives in a moist environment. 14 Our study indicates that P. aeruginosa infection was dependent on age and duration of hospital stay. Duration of hospital stay is directly proportional to infection.…”

The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from burn patients, antibiotic resistance pattern and occurrence of acquired MBL-producing P. aeruginosa among isolates collected from burn patients. In this study, two phenotypic methods were used for the detection of MBL-producing P. aeruginosa: zone enhancement with EDTA-impregnated imipenem and ceftazidime discs, and modified Hodge test. One hundred fifty-four isolates of P. aeruginosa were obtained from July 2007 to July 2008. Infection was increased up to 95% in hospitalized patients for >50 days. Highest infection of 39% was found in patients, who had 41 to 50% of burn area followed by 19% in patients with 31 to 40% of burn area. The most common bacteria isolated were P. aeruginosa (55.0%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (19.29%) and Klebsiella spp. (11.43%). Sixteen percent isolates of P. aeruginosa were positive for metallo-beta-lactamase production by both methods. Antibiotic resistance pattern of MBL-positive strains showed the highest resistance to ceftazidime (70%) followed by chloramphenicol (68%) and gentamicin (62.5%). Routine detection of MBLs ensuring optimal patient care and careful in vitro testing before antibiotic use may help in the prevention and treatment of burn patients infected with metallo-beta- lactamase-producing P. aeruginosa.
