Background and Objective: Jinnah Burn and Reconstructive Surgery Center, Lahore, Pakistan is one of largest burn patients management center in country. We evaluated our latest antibiogram of burn wounds to help patients and improve the healthcare.
Methods: Retrospective observational study of burn patients. Our study included all kinds of burns and all admitted patients with all ages, total burn surface area 01-80%. Wound cultures and sensitivity done on wounds swabs by culture and disc diffusion methods.
Results: There were 175 cases. Total six bacteria were found in all 175 cases. The Acinetobacter species were 9 (5.1%), Klebsiella species were 110 (62.8%) and these were most common ones, Proteus species were 12 (6.8%), Pseudomonas species were 30 (17.1%), Staphylococcus aureus were 12 (6.8%) and Staphylococcus coagulase negative were 2 (1.1%). Klebsiella was most sensitive to Colistin. All 105 out of 105 were sensitive (100.0%), followed by Tigercyclin; 39 out of 65 were sensitive (60.0%) and then Meropenum 47 out of 88 were sensitive (53.4%).
Conclusion: Klebsiella is the most common organism found in cultures of burn wounds and Colistin shows best sensitivity results against all bacteria found in our reports including Klebsiella.
