“…This is in contradiction to a study conducted in 2014 in Morocco by Essayagh et al. [ 16 ], which reported a higher incidence of burn injuries in male (64%) than in female (36%) subjects.

The mean ± SD age was 22.5 ± 18.84 years, a result which correlates with the results reported by other studies [ 6 , 16 ]. This could be because the 16- to 59-year age group is the most active and is exposed to hazardous environments at both work and home [ 11 , 13 ].…”

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of burn wound infection in the ward of Burns and Plastic Surgery at Mohammed V Hospital, Meknes, Morocco, and to determine the pathogenic bacterial species responsible for this infection as well as the susceptibility of these isolates to various antibiotics. Over the 1-year study period, 126 patients were admitted. The main sources of burns were flames (52.38%) and hot water (28.57%); 71% had burns with 11% to 40% burn surface and 48.41% had burns between 11% and 20% total burn surface. The mean ± SD duration of hospitalization was 22.15 ± 13.84 days after injury. Eighty-six patients were found to have at least one positive culture requiring treatment and were thus included in this study. The predominant bacteria isolated were Staphylococcus aureus (33.85%), followed by Pseudomonas spp. (18.46%), Acinetobacter baumannii (15.38%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.85%), Escherichia coli (8.46%) and Proteus mirabilis (4.42%). Disc-diffusion susceptibility testing indicated a high prevalence of resistance to various antimicrobial agents. Among the Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated, 86.36% were methicillin resistant and 48.64% were extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers respectively.

“…[21–24] Several evaluations of burn wound microbiology in middle or low-income countries outside of this region have demonstrated similar findings. [25–33] However from the published literature, the relationship between burn wound colonization with MDR bacteria and patient outcomes in LMICs is unclear. In high-income countries, retrospective data has shown conflicting evidence on the association between MDR bacterial colonization or infection and hospital length of stay.…”

“…21 Burn wounds are known to be good media for bacterial growth, and colonization occurs shortly after the injury as virulent microorganism strains invade the skin and soft tissue; as the host defense is weak, an increase in the number of microorganisms will be able to reach the venous system to cause infection. 22 In the current study, the most commonly isolated microorganisms from healthcare associated burn wound infection were Acinetobacter baumannii (41.46%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.51%) then Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.63% each). This result is in agreement with a Turkish study which revealed Acinetobacter baumannii as the most common pathogen isolated (23.6%); in the same study the percentage of S. aureus was near to our value (11.2%).…”

Introduction Patients with burn wounds are more susceptible to develop healthcare associated (HA) infection. Bacterial isolates from HA burn wound infection vary from one place to the other and also differ in terms of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. The aim of our study was to assess the incidence of HA burn wound infection, risk factors and to determine the microbiological profile and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of isolated pathogens. Methods This was a one-year retrospective descriptive study conducted between January 2017 and December 2017, in Al-Babtain Burn and Plastic Surgery center, Kuwait. The identification of bacterial isolates was conducted by conventional biochemical methods according to standard microbiological techniques and commercially available kits using analytical profile index procedure. Results Total body surface area >35% affected and length of stay more than 14 days were statistically significant risk factors for HA burn infection (RR of 10.057 and 5.912, respectively). Analysis of microbiological profile of these positive cultures indicated that the most common isolated organism was Acinetobacter baumannii followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Multidrug resistant organisms composed 65.85% of the positive isolates. Vancomycin, tigecycline, teicoplanin and linezolid showed 100% effectiveness for all Gram positive isolates. For Gram negative organisms, imipenem and meropenem showed 38.71% and 41.93% efficacy, respectively. Conclusion Identification of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns helps to tailor the required antibiotic policy to minimize the acquired infections among these vulnerable patients.
