[Analysis of 1116 strains of pathogens isolated from infected burn wounds]

We report the analysis of 1,116 strains of pathogens isolated from infected burn wounds of 536 patients hospitalized from 1989 to 1991. From the 1,116 strains of pathogens, 39 species of aerobes and fungi were found, including 217 strains of staphylococcus aureus, 208 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 119 strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The positive rates of the above three bacteria were 19.4%, 18.6% and 10.6% respectively. Some opportunistic pathogens, such as bacillus cercus, aerococcus virdans and aspergillus etc. were also isolated from the burn wounds as well as the ward environments. The drug sensitivity of some of the common bacterial was determined.
