This study aimed to identify the aerobic bacteriological profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of burn infections in three hospitals in Abadan, southwest Iran. The cultures of various clinical samples obtained from 325 burn patients were investigated from January to December 2019. All bacterial isolates were identified based on the standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed according to the CLSI. A total of 287 bacterial species were isolated from burn patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most frequent bacterial isolate in Gram-negative bacteria and S. epidermidis was the most frequent species isolated in Gram-positive bacteria. The maximum resistance was found to ampicillin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, while in Gram-negative bacteria, the maximum resistance was found to imipenem, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, and amikacin. The occurrence of multidrug resistance phenotype was as follows: P. aeruginosa (30.3%), Enterobacter spp (11.1%), Escherichia coli (10.5%), Citrobacter spp (2.1%), S. epidermidis (2.8%), S. aureus, and S. saprophyticus (0.7%). Owing to the diverse range of bacteria that cause burn wound infection, regular investigation, and diagnosis of common bacteria and their resistance patterns is recommended to determine the proper antibiotic regimen for appropriate therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irab097","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]],"date-time":"2021-06-04T22:22:26Z","timestamp":1622845346000},"page":"423-431","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Occurrence
