The culture and susceptibility test results of the microorganisms, isolated from the wound swabs of the patients hospitalized in a tertiary-burn care center in 10-year period, were retrospectively screened on the microbiology department databases. Their distribution of isolated microorganisms regarding species and susceptibility test results were compared with previous studies. A total of 367 microorganisms, isolated from the burn wounds of 293 patients (13 \u00b1 18.9 years, F\/M: 0.93) (73 adults and 220 pediatric patients), were included in this study. A solitary agent was isolated in 239 (81.6%) patients, while 2 were isolated in 43 (14.7%) and 3 or more agents in 11 (3.8%). From these, 33% of the isolated microorganisms were gram-positive cocci, 61% were gram-negative bacteria, and 6% were Candida spp. The most common isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus aureus (18.5%), Pseudomonas spp. (16.9%), and Escherichia coli (11.2%), while the least common was Streptococcus spp. (2.5%). Methicillin resistance was 15% among the S. aureus strains. No resistance was observed against levofloxacin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, daptomycin, fusidic acid, and tigecycline in S. aureus strains. The highest resistance rates were observed against levofloxacin (64%), tobramycin (64%), pip\/tazobactam (63%), imipenem (63%), and the lowest against colistin (5%) and ceftazidime (29%), among Pseudomonas spp. The most common causative agents in burn wound infections and their current antimicrobial susceptibility features should be well identified, in order for prevention of serious complications and optimal management the condition to occur.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irad158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,17]],"date-time":"2023-10-17T19:44:30Z","timestamp":1697571870000},"page":"384-397","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The
