Bacterial infections are the major cause in delaying of burn wound healing and may also lead to sepsis-related mortality. The predominant organisms causing infection are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The present study was conducted by collecting samples at regular intervals for a period of 3 months from patients with severe burn wounds. A total of 65 samples were collected showing clinical signs of infection in burn patients admitted in ICU ward &8 samples were collected from OPD patients. A total of 136 bacterial isolates were isolated from burn wound patients showing clinical signs of infection. Our results revealed that the most predominant isolates are Staphylococcus aureus (36%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (35%), Escherichia coli (15%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (14 respectively). Out of 136 isolates 63 (46%) were resistant while 73(54%) isolates were sensitive to antibiotics. The 31 (64%) Gram positive isolates were resistant and 17 (35%) were sensitive. Total Gram-negative isolates were 88 out of which 36 (41%) were resistant and 52 (59%) isolates were sensitive. As antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from burn patients has increased, thus the challenge is infection control and decreases the mortality rate. The main objective of the study was to assess the predominant bacterial isolates from the burn wounds of ICU admitted patients and to determine antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates and to describe the change in trends over the study period.
