“…Table 2 lists the most common microorganisms colonizing and infecting burn wounds. Prior to the antibiotic era, Streptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci) was the predominant pathogen implicated in burn wound infections and was a major cause of death in severely burned patients (23,246,249). Staphylococcus aureus became the principal etiological agent of burn wound infections (250,333) shortly after the introduction of penicillin G in the early 1950s, which resulted in the virtual elimination of Streptococcus pyogenes as a cause of infection in thermally injured patients.…”

“…They have been shown in numerous studies to limit bacterial colonization in the setting of an open burn wound or a widely meshed autograft, effectively reducing counts to less than 10 5 per gram of tissue 8–12 . Moreover, they were used over the years to avert the possibility of beta hemolytic Streptococcus infection 1315 .…”

“…Streptococcus pyogenes (β-αιμολυτικός στρεπτόκοκκος ομάδας Α) ήταν το κύριο παθογόνο που σχετιζόταν με τις λοιμώξεις των εγκαυμάτων και το κύριο αίτιο θανάτου σε σοβαρά εγκαυματίες [43][44][45]. Ο χρυσίζων σταφυλόκοκκος ήταν αργότερα το σημαντικότερο αίτιο λοίμωξης της εγκαυματικής περιοχής [46,47] μετά την εισαγωγή της πενικιλλίνης G στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 1950.…”
