ESBL producing Gram Negative Aerobic Bacteria Isolated from Burn Wound Infection with Their Antibiogram in Dhaka

Abstract: Background: Infection is an important cause of mortality in burns. Rapidly emerging nosocomial pathogens and the problem of multi-drug resistance necessitates periodic review of isolation patterns and antibiogram in the burn ward. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the frequency of bacteria in burn wound with their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Method: This cross sectional study was conducted in the laboratory of Department of Microbiology at Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka and samples were … Show more

“…In agreement with the recommendations found in the literature, in the case of patients identified with positive cultures of the above mentioned multiresistant strains (producing ESBL and MRSA), high precaution measures were taken along with the standard usual measures of nosocomial infection prevention, represented by isolating or grouping into separate wards those patients (in the limiting context of existing administrative possibilities) to avoid the contamination of other patients and medical staff [ 28 ].…”
