Etiology and Multi-Drug Resistant Profile of Bacterial Infections in Severe Burn Patients, Romania 2018–2022
Infections in severe burns and their etiology are and will remain a big concern for the medical field. The multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria are a challenge of today’s medicine. The aim of our study was to identify the etiological spectrum of bacterial infections in severe burn patients in Ro...

description | Infections in severe burns and their etiology are and will remain a big concern for the medical field. The multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria are a challenge of today’s medicine. The aim of our study was to identify the etiological spectrum of bacterial infections in severe burn patients in Romania and their multi-drug resistant patterns. We performed a prospective study that included 202 adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Plastic, Reconstructive Surgery and Burns, Bucharest, Romania (CEHPRSB), from 1 October 2018 to 1 April 2022, a period which includes the first 2 years of the outbreak of COVID-19. From each patient, wound swabs, endotracheal aspirates, blood for blood culture, and urine were collected. The most frequently isolated bacterium was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (39%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (12%), Klebsiella spp. (11%), and Acinetobacter baumannii (9%). More than 90% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii were MDR, regardless of the clinical specimen from which they were isolated. |
