“…A trend to greater sensitivity of P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii to I-C with TOB followed by de-escalation also was noted by Le Floch et al [17] in a burn ICU. These authors likewise did not find an increase in resistance, most specifically to imipenem-resistant gram-negative strains or MRSA.…”

“…Those units and their patients provide a niche for opportunistic organisms that are generally harmless to healthy people but are often very resistant to antibiotics and can cause epidemic spread among patients. [1] Indeed, infections by those microorganisms are difficult to treat and may lead to increased morbidity and mortality in weakened burn patients, [2][3][4][5] thereby increasing associated costs of care. The Burns Unit (BU) of the Military Hospital in Rabat is one of those intensive care units; it contains 14 beds with three in reanimation, two baths, two operating rooms, and toilets.…”

AMAÇRabat'daki askeri hastanenin yanık ünitesine yatırılan hastalardan ve bunların çevrelerinden 1,5 yıllık bir süre içinde (Temmuz 2009(Temmuz -Şubat 2011 elde edilen patolojik materyalden izole edilen suşların direnç profiline ait karşılaştırmalı bir prospektif çalışmanın sonuçları sunuldu. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMBu çalışmada, yanıkları nedeniyle hastaneye yatırılan hastalara (40 erkek, 20 kadın; ort. yaş 38±14.8; dağılım, 2-80 yaş) ait 125 patolojik ürünle çalışıldı. Birinci periyot süre-sinde 86, ikinci periyot süresinde de 50 artıksız bakteriyel suş izole edildi. BULGULARBaskın suşlar sırasıyla, Acinetobacter baumannii (%15,6), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (%13,8) ve Staphylococcus aureus (%11) oldu. İkinci periyot süresinde A. baumannii (%15,5), P. aeruginosa (%11,3) ve Klebsiella pneumoniae (% 8,5) suşlarının çok olduğunu saptandı. Yanıklı hastalardan elde edilen 104 çevresel örnekten 139 mikroorganizma izole edildi. Koagülaz-negatif stafilokok, iki ça-lışma periyodunda da en fazla görülen suş oldu (%69,2 ve %64,6). SONUÇBütün suşlar, test edilen değişik antibiyotiklere karşı hemen hemen özdeş duyarlılık göstermiştir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Antibiyotik direnci; bakteriyel ekoloji; yanık hastası; yanık ünitesi.
