Antimicrobial Resistance of Bacteria in Burn Patients

Analyzing the Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Bacterial Isolates Obtained From Severely Burned Patients

The purpose of this study is to test the resistance of pathogenic bacteria in infected tissues of burn patients to various antimicrobials and enzyme debriders.

Bacteria that is present in infected burn wounds will be isolated and identified. The isolates will be tested for resistance to commercially available antimicrobials.
